Hi, i am working on making the Player move to the NPC before starting a Dialogue.
I ran into this answer from Brian;
It needs to be an IAction to function properly…
I make the PlayerConversant inherit the IAction interface
This means that StartDialogue will need to call ActionScheduler like fighter and Mover do, and will also need a Cancel() method to clear the target.
Then rather than immediately opening the dialogue, an Update method in PlayerConversant will move to the AIConversant, interacting when the player is in range.
So i implemented the IAction to the PlayerConversant, at first i had to click once,
then it would move in range, then click again to actually start the Dialogue.
I fixed that by storing the AIConversant and Dialogue in extra variables,
and as soon as IsInConversationRange() is true, it would call the StartDialogue()
again,with the 2 saved ones from when the AIConversant called StartDialogue.
It all seems to work well like this, but i think this is not how he meant it?
public void Update()
{
if(currentConversant == null) { return; }
if (!IsInConversationRange())
{
mover.MoveTo(currentConversant.transform.position, conversationRange);
}
else
{
mover.Cancel();
if (savedConversant != null && savedDialogue != null)
{
StartDialogue(savedConversant, savedDialogue);
savedConversant = null;
savedDialogue = null;
}
}
}
public void StartDialogue(AIConversant newConversant, Dialogue newDialogue)
{
actionScheduler.StartAction(this);
savedConversant = newConversant;
savedDialogue = newDialogue;
currentConversant = newConversant;
if(!IsInConversationRange()) { return; }
currentDialogue = newDialogue;
currentNode = currentDialogue.GetRootNode();
TriggerEnterAction();
onConversationUpdated();
}
public void Cancel()
{
mover.Cancel();
Quit();
}
public bool IsInConversationRange()
{
return Vector3.Distance(transform.position, currentConversant.transform.position) < conversationRange;
}
