This plugin has been great so far but I’ve hit a wall trying to figure out how to combine multiple text replacement macros. What I’m trying to do is setup a "replace “%pctitle% and “%pcsurname”” within the same dialogue. I thought I could achieve it through the use of an append function (as shown below) but the dialogue will only replace whichever one is plugged into “A” on the append node and leave the others as “%variablename%”. Is there a certain way of going about achieving this? Thank you. ![cccdb067bcef0fa61855db59b1f633004c0c3a8d.jpeg](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/transparent.png) ---

I’m not in front of UE4, so I can’t be for certain but that should work for what you are trying to do. ---

> [@;545483](#): > > I put sound into a PC node but only the sound of the NPC is played. How can I change that? The demo dialogue widget is based on how it’s handled in Skyrim. If you want to make it like in Mass Effect, you have to make the following modifications: [https://dl.dropboxusercontent](https://dl.dropboxusercontent)./u/62420848/player%20voiceover.png You can see that it does the following: - sets the text at the bottom from the PC node that you clicked - plays the sound - waits for the sound duration + 0.5 seconds - then after that delay, it goes to the NPC reply Note that in this scheme, if there is no sound, the player line will remain on screen for 0.5 seconds, so if some of your player lines aren’t voiced, you should make necessary adjustments. > [@;545483](#): > > But when ever I compile it unreal crashes without crash report.

Sure, you can customize the UMG widget to support gamepad controls, whether it is to navigate the answer list with the d-pad or to bind each answer to one of the right side buttons. If it’s the former, you can check out the top rated answer [here](https://answers.unrealengine./questions/147619/umg-gamepadkeyboard-navigation-in-umg-menus.html).

This looks pretty awesome. Quick question: Have you planned on functionality (or is there currently functionality) to proceed from one NPC line to the next based on an arbitrary timer? Or could this be implemented through UMG? ---

I did check the docs and the videos, look very professional but i have a concerns. The event logic it is in the widget, and the widget is generic for all npc, if I have a 10 npc with 10 doors. Need i do a chech for the 10 doors? Or if every npc check different player’s skill? Is the widget holding all logic from all checks? The other way be will duplicated the widget for each npc??? Really i like you plugin but… Do you think that the logic of events need to be in another blueprint.? In the create widget a entry pin for example. Or I missing something. And anothe question. Have the pre building plugin a set of basic event, animated montage and array of ftext is enought for me,( because the text can fire any code skipping the need of use c++). ---

Me again! I’ve moved onto conditions now, I’ve watched the tutorial and it seems fairly straightforward but I’m having problems setting a Text based condition. I have a variable within my PC called “Gender”, I’ve added the C++ code for an FText condition called “Gender”. It shows up in the dialogue editor as a condition and I’ve added the BP logic for it to compare the Gender text. The problem I’m having is that dialogue will only show the first tree regardless of the condition. Have I missed something from the C++? ![e96703b50c0c2217851872781763fc03d8c9bb56.jpeg](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/transparent.png) ![7384a8cb2cd3d2caf061d70735c0fc29108ff31c.jpeg](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/transparent.png) ![c51300dfa55acbbcaefa9c1f6f4714927ac90a5a.jpeg](https://d1ap1mz92jnks1.cloudfront.net/images/transparent.png) ---

> [@Inc;545926](#): > > Just got this ! - Seems to work great - is there gamepad support? I saw your question on the marketplace, where you specifically asked if it was possible to introduce gamepad support that works like in Fallout 4. We’ve added a “FAQ” section to the documentation where you can now find a mini-guide on how to achieve that. > [@546121](#): > > THave you planned on functionality (or is there currently functionality) to proceed from one NPC line to the next based on an arbitrary timer? Or could this be implemented through UMG? Sure, it’s possible to do that from the UMG.

Need i do a chech for the 10 doors? Can you provide a specific example of dialogues and conditions that you have trouble with implementing? It’s supposed to work like this: let’s say you have a “money” condition. One dialogue requires the player to have 10 gold and another dialogue has replies that require 20 gold and 30 gold respectively. The logic to check this is the same and is located in the dialogue widget, but allows to have different checks in different dialogues. > [@;546437](#): > > Me again!

I’ve now run into a new problem. I would like to set two conditions for dialogue to appear. One for “Gender” and one for “Race”. I’ve set these up in the C++ and they show up in the dialogue editor. However if I have 2 NPC responses, one with the conditions “Female” “Human” and the other with “Female” “Alien”, the human female dialogue is shown and not the female alien one. It looks like the dialogue is only taking the first condition (Gender) into account and ignoring the second condition (Race). ---

It’s not possible to add conditions/events without C++, however knowledge of C++ isn’t required as it’s simply a matter of copying a few lines and there’s a step-by-step tutorial both on video and in text. Text tutorial contains examples of various types that you could need. ---
