Blueprint Dialogue System

Thanks for the quick response. I’ll likely hold off a bit to see if anyone using this for mobile can provide some input. One of the main things I want to ensure is customization features like the typewriter effect will still work. I intend on using this system to emulate an interactive Linux terminal.

Hi NobleSpoon,

I was able to deploy on Android and the UI works out of the box (testing with 4.9 on an Samsung S3 Android - stock). All that is needed is to ‘GetActorUsables’ and call the Use message on the actor when you detect an interaction (if you get to this point, have a look at BPC_UseScanner and the sample ThirdPersonCharacter for these functions).

It’s me again haha.

I was wondering how high controller support is on your priority list.

This since I’m working on a project at school and we are setting up a task list (don’t really have a lot of programmers, so any future updates that might help us with the dialogue system is obviously always perfect :).
Possibilities are we might port the game to PS4, and therefor would need controller support.

Hi Bram,

I am just confirming that gamepad support will be in the next version, which I should be submitting for an update sometime this week or next week. There is now a built in handling for controllers in the UI, but UMG is not built for Gamepads at the moment, so I also made it extensible by providing an ‘unmanaged input’ mode (which tells the dialogue system to do nothing about input) and exposing the function calls for selecting buttons, so that the Player Controller or Character classes can better handle gamepad interactions.
