Blueprint Dialogue System

[Grogger]

@Ednoc

Hi, thanks for this quick reply, Grogger.

I’m trying to figure both way to do it, like that I’m sure I could do it in anyway possible… And to understand how it works.

So, I created a simple Triggerbox, then like any other blueprint, and I added a dialogue component… But the regular “Press ‘E’ to interact” dosen’t show up. I was thinking about creating an invisible mesh with no collision but I don’t think it’ll work either and… Probabnly it’s not a good way to do it.

And for the other method, I’m still trying to figure how I could make it works on a level blueprint. I’ve managed to find how to have the "Set State’ (Target is BPC dialogue) buuut… I don’t know if it’s good or not.

I have a lot of things to learn about this dialogue system I guess. And the documentation is pretty complicated for me… My apologies for my lack of knowledge, I’m just trying to make simple things and I can’t really figure how that’s work.
I have no more problems with the system itself otherwise. And, like I remembered, it’s great.

If you go the route of using a built-in trigger box, you’ll need to use the Level Blueprint to call SetState on it (and you’ll need to use the Get components Function to find the BPC_Dialogue component you’ve placed on your trigger box, since the level blueprint doesn’t know that this specific trigger box has that component).

The other method would be a new Blueprint class with your BPC_Dialogue component and a collision volume with the overlap event triggering the SetState function.

The “Press E” message only shows up when the BPC_UseScanner detects an actor on the Visibility trace channel (assuming it’s been configured correctly), but trigger boxes are ignored on this trace channel, so it wouldn’t be detected.

Hopefully this helps
