Dialogue Plugin

[czlowiek_kon]

The instructions in that “post #282” worked back then (in 2018), but can’t work now, because the plugin has evolved since then, so when an instruction from 3 years ago says “add something to line 62”, in 2021 the line number will be absolutely out of place.

I’ve recorded a video on a broader subject, but in that video I perform the necessary changes to the plugin that add a second text field. It’s a long video, but the second text field is already added and is functional by 11th minute, so watch it and do what I do: https://www.youtube./watch?v=dpxErm–dvE

As for other changes you’re trying to make. The “demo dialogue widget” is just that - a demo. If it doesn’t fit your needs, then you can alter it if you can, or just write your own. I’d recommend the latter for you. 99% of the plugin is in the editor. 1% is the widget. Just write your own widget, this way you’ll know exactly what lives where and why. All the API is exposed, and you can look at the demo widget to look for examples of how to interact with the dialogue asset.

Hey!

I finally got back to the thing. And thanks for motivation, I finally got deeper into the dialgoue widget and got to know it better so I can achieve what I want

But I ran into another problem. Long time ago I moved the plugin to the project folder and recompiled it like in your tutorial. All worked fine. Then I moved the whole project to the repo on P4. Then I wanted to add another text field and it didn’t work for my co-workers - they got the info they need to get the plugin themselves. I probably should build the project and only then send it to repo, because it’s building with the game and I’m sending just the folder. Can you advise what’s the best course of actions should be?

Also, I did manage to make the second text field, but only once… Another attempts I always encountered the same error: after editing one of the field, the second field always gets the entry from another one. I’m pretty sure I follow your steps but still I can’t get it right… I changed “SecondText” to “ShortText” but I doubt it’s the case… Can you point me to the right piece of code that could be the problem?

Thank you!
