Hi! I've been pulling my hair trying to make a character bark using Visual Scripting.

I have a conversation with four barks. I want to have this character emit one of the four lines at the end of this subgraph.


Inpsector for the character that emits dialogue.


The current visual script subgraph containing the bark nodes that are not working.



Here is what the speech bubble looks like when using the Bark on Idle component.

Right now, the speech bubbles do not appear.

Currently using Unity 6 and the latest Visual Scripting.

Anything helps, thanks!

Hi,

Here are two ways:

1. Set up a Dialogue System Trigger and invoke its OnUse(Transform) method. In the screenshot below, I put a Dialogue System Trigger on the visual script machine's GameObject and added a bark UI prefab as a child. I set up the Dialogue System Trigger's Actions to bark.


2. Or get a reference to the Dialogue Manager's Dialogue System Controller component and call its Bark method. In the example below, I added an "NPC" named "Capsule", added a bark UI prefab as a child, and set up the script machine to call the DialogueSystemController's Bark() method.

First option solved it! Thanks!


It would be even more helpful in the future if I could find more documentation on accessing these functions through Script Graph.

I don't know if it's helpful to you, but the full API is available here: https://pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_syst ... al2x/html/

Visual Scripting just provides a node-based wrapper around API calls.
