Blueprint Dialogue System

[Grogger]

Hi all, I just returned from the Holidays, sorry for the delay in my replies!

Okay - I’ve rebuilt the handle function script override and created the animation function - nearly. At the end of the script you have a function; RunEndofAnimScript. I don’t have this function. How am I building it?
Edit: I also don’t have a function for GetAnimInstance that doesn’t target the skeletal mesh component. Is this an issue? I don’t want to have to reference one skeleton because I’d like to be able to use multiple skeletons with this script.

As it is right now, I have ‘laughing’ as an element for the arg string array but the animation doesn’t play.

I’m also creating a component I can attach to NPCs that will generate a random name from a markov list. However, whenever I try to cast the new speaker attribute row to the UI_dialogue I get a compile error. What am I missing here?

Hi , the example I posted was specific to a character in my case, the PlayAnimation function I posted was just a custom example - it’s all regular blueprints after the extraction of the function names and arguments in the Handle function.

Sorry about the large amount of posts - I have resolved the markov problem myself. I am wondering if it is possible for the speaker attributes table to create rows and set members in the columns on runtime. I’m reading old posts saying they are read only but just wanted to check if you knew a workaround. I’m trying to get actors withrandomly generated names to be assigned ‘personalities’ from several data tables but can’t seem to get the speaker name to update in the UI, firstly.

You can certainly do this, though how will depend on what you need. The Attributes table is optional if you override the **GetSpeakerAttributes **function in your BPC_Dialogue child class. The standard is to retrieve a table row here, but instead you can build a new struct with whatever details you need.

Hi Greg - I’m noticing BPC dialogue no longer works due to depricated features in UE4. Are you planning an update that fixes these for non-coders?

Hi BaconMonkey, the current version should be fully compatible with 4.14.1. If you’ve updated, can you provide additional details as to what is going wrong?
