Conversation with no dialogue options remaining

TayannaStudios

I have hundreds of conversations that have multiple dialogue option each. These dialogue options are disabled by default once they have been chosen.

I want to have a pop-up that says "All questions have been asked" when the player triggers a conversation that's had all of its dialoge options exhausted. How would I go about doing this?

The Converation script's AllOptionsBeenChosen function can be used to determine this.

This can be run when a Conversation begins via the OnStartConversation event, and then made to run an ActionList that displays a Menu popup.

Example script, attached to the Conversation:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class ExhaustedConversationCheck : MonoBehaviour
{

    public ActionListAsset actionList;

    void OnEnable () { EventManager.OnStartConversation += OnStartConversation; }
    void OnDisable () { EventManager.OnStartConversation -= OnStartConversation; }

    void OnStartConversation (Conversation conversation)
    {
        if (conversation.gameObject == gameObject)
        {
            if (conversation.AllOptionsBeenChosen (true))
            {
                // All options chosen
                actionList.Interact ();
            }
        }
    }

}

Perfect, thank you so much, Chris!

Actually, I think the GetCount() function may be better as sometimes some options are disabled rather than being exhausted - that's my fault for explaining it wrong!

So basically it would check if any visible options are showing and if not it would then run an actionlist.

Do you know a demo script for that at all please, Chris?

The GetNumEnabledOptions function - in place of AllOptionsBeenChosen - will check that.

How would I write this in the code?

Replace:

if (conversation.AllOptionsBeenChosen (true))

with:

if (conversation.GetNumEnabledOptions () == 0)

I've been trying to solve this same problem in my project but with a Cutscene instead of an ActionList, but after the last option is chosen the Cutscene doesn't get played. The setup I have is a Cutscene that starts the Conversation with this script attached:

public class PlayCutsceneOnExhausted : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Cutscene cutscene;

    void OnEnable() { EventManager.OnStartConversation += OnStartConversation; }
    void OnDisable() { EventManager.OnStartConversation -= OnStartConversation; }

    void OnStartConversation(Conversation conversation)
    {
        Debug.Log("OnStartConversation");
        if (conversation.gameObject == gameObject)
        {
            Debug.Log("Conversation started " + conversation.GetNumEnabledOptions());
            if (conversation.GetNumEnabledOptions() == 0)
            {
                // All options chosen
                Debug.Log("Conversation options have been all chosen");
                cutscene.Interact();
            }
        }
    }

}

In the console window I see Conversation Started 2 when starting the conversation, then Conversation Started 1 after clicking one option and progressing through the tree, but it never gets to 0. Here's a screenshot of the Conversation object: https://imgur.com/a/gsYMH2e

my unity version is 2022.3.62f3 and AC 1.85.5

Welcome to the community, @allisoninezlee.

Do the Conversation's ActionLists hide each option, such that no options are shown in the Conversation menu? I'm wondering if GetNumEnabledOptions is returning the correct value, or if there's a mismatch somehow.
