Blueprint Dialogue System

Hi! I’m interested in buying this system - looks like exactly what I need - but I did want to verify something first. I read the documentation and watched the tutorial videos and didn’t find a clear answer. Is it possible use the system so that it can sometimes be triggered by the player pressing a button, and sometimes triggered automatically when the player collides with a trigger volume? Also, I noticed that we can trigger events at the end of a line (post-action), but the documentation doesn’t explain where I would create those events and how to call them. Other than that, I am very excited to buy this tool and start creating some dialogue for my game!

Hi Charlie,

It certainly can be called from anywhere you’d like, by calling the SetState blueprint function on the dialogue component. I have some being called by trigger volumes, others by pressing ‘E’ on a character, and some others through matinee & sequencer.

Custom functions can be built in the dialogue actor component, implemented in the “HandleScriptFunction” blueprint function (there is a brief example in the documentation here)

Cheers!
