Hi,

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by: "it just flshes black"

Can you please clarify?

Are you making a VR game? If so, you will need to change the Canvas's mode to World Space or Screen Space - Camera.

If you follow the quick start tutorial exactly as shown in the video, without any changes, does it work correctly? If so, we can work forward from there.

Hi,

Cinemachine and 3rd person follow should be fine.

Are you using the default Dialogue Manager prefab located in Assets / Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Prefabs?

If so, are you using it unmodified except for creating and assigning a dialogue database to it?

Does DemoScene1 play properly in your project?

Hi,

Please import the HDRP materials for the demo scene from the Dialogue System Extras page (direct download).

Then make sure DemoScene1 works. (Talk to the soldier NPC, Private Hart.)

If that works, please try the Quick Start again starting with a new, empty scene without modifying any of the steps.

If that works, then add the basic Dialogue Manager prefab to your own scene. Create a dialogue database and a conversation in it. Then add a Dialogue System Trigger component to the scene, set it to OnStart, and select Add Action > Start Conversation and select your conversation. Then play the scene.
