> [@Arkad2](#): > > Hello everyone. I want to apologize if this has already been asked, but this is really hard to find. I’m kinda new in Unreal Engine, and my question is if I am able to create a dialogue node programmatically. Like for example, I have an NPC ID (who is speaking), a flag if the node is a PC answer, text itself and node id. I want to create programmatically a data asset of the dialogue plugin with all the nodes of the specific NPC. Would be greatfull if you tell me how this is possible. Many thanks and sorry for my bad English. Hope, I explained correctly. To add nodes, have a look at this method: SDialogueViewportWidget::OnAddNodeClicked() It’s not difficult to create nodes. What may be difficult is to create menus that would call your particular method. > [@](#): > > When I use a delay inside a dialogue event and the dialogue ends while this delay still happens UE4 crashes as soon as this delay runs out. Thanks for reporting it, it’s obviously a bug. I’ll try to see if I can address it soon. In the meantime, you can call a method on your character or controller or some other blueprint and use a delay in there. That would work. ---

Hi, I have a problem with selecting Actor Objects Referances in a dialogue event that I created. I made a simple ‘Master Quest’ actor then created child actors of him and placed them in the level. I created a dialogue event that adds Quest (child of Master Quest) to Quest Log (Actor type). In the dialogue window after selecting the created event I can see the child actors (quests) in a drop down list however I am unable to select them, pressing on them does not work. Any ideas how to solve this ? ---

Any ideas how to solve this ? Not a good idea to try and reference objects in the level. Reference their class instead and then find the objects of this class in level on runtime. If you have multiple instances of the same class and need a better way to differentiate between them, use the tags system as well. ---

Hi @ I’m noticing that dialogues among multiple actors are not supported. Am I doing something wrong? Pretty strange, since it’s just needed to have multiple names / npc references in the dialogs that you can switch in the single node! ---

It depends entirely on how your game presents the speaker. So if we’re talking about a game like Pillars of Eternity, the way to have a different speaker is to simply put a dialogue event on a node when someone else is speaking. The event would have to do the following: - Change the name of the speaker in the widget - Change the portrait (if one is available) - Move the camera over to the NPC in question As you can see, all of that is strongly game-dependent, so it’s not “part of the plugin” per se, but the dialogue events system (see second video tutorial) easily supports this. You can do this with this plugin rather easily. Once you’ve created this “dialogue event”, you can reuse it to switch between characters at will. ---

I just wanted to say thank you so much for this plugin. Very useful and easy to use. For anyone interested I did a twitch stream on this - working on adding conditions and events - [https://youtube](https://youtube)./watch?v=PnKZVFD5TiU Hopefully it might be useful to some people. ---

Submitted an update, it should be processed soon (usually takes a couple of days). When it goes live, new in 4.22: - Fixed a crash related to using delays in conditions/events. - VarStrings. Please read the documentation to learn more about them. They’re very easy to use. There’s a 2 minute video tutorial, or text explanations. In short, it’s a system that allows you to type something like **%charname%** in your dialogue, and then to easily substitute it with any runtime information, like your character’s name in this example. ---

Hi and all dialogue plugin users. I really enjoy the plugin and playing around with it. I know this is on my side, not plugin, but… I want to clarify it is possible, because my blueprint / code knowledge is still bit limited…sorry if my questions are too simplistic. What would be the best way to implement this functionality, I suppose it should be possible with conditions and node IDs: - When Question (A) is once visited, next time I would like to show Question (B) and hide Question (A) - Show Question (C) only if player have specific items in the inventory (this part I have almost done) + player asked Question (A) - when Question (C) is visible, Question (B) is hidden ![dialogue01.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/f/3fab544d0e4b82a7599cd1514e848df6442c2245.jpeg) I am not precisely sure how to achieve the hiding and showing specific nodes based on their IDs. But should be probably possible with creating struct of visited nodes and based on that hiding and showing specific nodes. - Do not mind the text in nodes here, but what if I want to show node (E) only after node (D) was visited? (referring to another part / level of dialog hierarchy tree) - Do I need to add some custom made parameter in c++ to nodes to be able to identify what ever the node anywhere in the hierarchy? Would it be easiest way how to query / access the individual nodes? ![dialogue02.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/a/f/afd03f0a099313cea715c102ca452b975cb6fa7d.jpeg) Hope it is clear what I would like to do. I plan to try it bit more tomorrow, but I am interested if there is more then one solutions to this and what would be the best way to do it also in mater of reusability for other dialogues / similar situations. ---
