Dialogue System

Savagee25 · February 7, 2016, 11:35pm

hi.

It’s possible to make some dialogphrases in a Bahaviertree triggerable? And to use dialogphrases it self as triggers for new dialog option in the future, like dialogs in mass effect: you select 1 of 3 Answers and in a few hours the nonplayer character will “react” and with reference to the answer, comes other Dialogoptions?

The phrases are very short. how cound i expand it for more text?

Thanks

Hello! It’s free for all kind of projects, just download and use. Also feel free to modify it for your needs - source code is included:)

Hello!

You can create your own tasks (BTTask_BlueprintBase allows to do whatever you want) and put them in BehaviorTree.
Phrases are not short There is no limit. Also you can add some new phrases, just click + “Adds Element”

Thanks for reply. How could i use an “End-Button” to Exit the dialog?
And how can I make a button to go to the next phrase / Qustion, without any automatically continues?

Also look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkkKSl-PxS0 There is information about skipping phrases.

You are totally awesome. I just want to say thank you.

Wish there was a feature…
To Make Questions invisible after clicking them…
Like integrated into the question system directly…
Without any extra function…

Just a tiny box inside the question properties saying: I will cloak myself after i was hard clicked!

Like coming with the new 1.6 update…
Secretly light a nightinggale…

How can compile this plugin for Unreal Engine 4.11?

Filly_The_Owl · February 24, 2016, 4:52pm

let them do it. Dont hesitate with 4.11 yet. Its still in preview and not usable.

artemavrin · February 24, 2016, 7:41pm

Hmm, nice idea! I’ll do it soon:)

Filly_The_Owl · February 24, 2016, 8:21pm

And an idea to change the greeting phrases…
maybe via random integers…
Phrase 1
Phrase 2
Phrase 3…
Booltick to set if it should use one random…
to not always have the same…

@_@ HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Can you feel my cold breath!!!
I can feel your heartbeat!

Many of my AI characters share the same behaviour trees.

What’s the best way to use your dialogue tree without breaking the existing trees?

For example I want all my security guards to use my existing SecurityGuard behaviour tree, but I’d like to assign unique dialogues to some of the guards.

There is a “Run Behavior” BT node, but that would change dialogues for everyone that uses the same BT and I don’t want that. Duplicating the SecurityGuard BT and only changing the dialogue part is also a bad idea.

What should I do - spawn a separate AI controller for the dialogue?

artemavrin · February 25, 2016, 12:28pm

Hello! Have you tried to change behavior tree? I mean…by default run your character AI behavior tree, when you want to talk with him just run tree with dialogue in AI Controller:) After dialogue - run default behavior again.

artemavrin · February 25, 2016, 12:29pm

Yeah! I like it:)

serioussam909 · February 25, 2016, 1:43pm

Wouldn’t the “Run Behavior Tree” node run both trees at the same time? I don’t see a way to change the current tree. There’s also “Run Behavior Dynamic” but I don’t think that it’s finished, because it requires a behavior tree component and there’s no way to instantiate it.

I have more suggestions.

Thing is: You cant hide a question after it is beeing clicked.
Next time i reload the game it will be unchecked and visible again. We need a way to save that it is hidden.
I do that via strings.

This Dialogue System work fine but i have a question… I have a one Behavior Tree for Dialogue system and create another for AI movement… then i try run both Behavior Trees but nothing work. How can i creating two Behavior Trees for the same AI and run them?

I creating question with screenshot: Two behaivor trees - AI - Epic Developer Community Forums

Thank you.

Hello! Try to run dialogue behavior from BehaviorTree when you need it. There is a task “RunBehavior”.
