Play Speech - Same line, mutiple Objects

UndyingSpite

Is it possible to have the same speech line for multiple objects? Right now if i create a hotspot -> LookAt -> PlayDialogue -> SpeechLine he creates a new line, cause i can not refer to an existing one. Is every line unique? In my case i have lots of stuff with the same speech line, do i have to use multiple audio files (physical copy)  for the same line?

Solved, i can copy the interaction DialogueSpeech, he will make a new entry but with the same Id. I thought he would generate a new one.

But this didn't work in different Scenes. Is there a way to refrence to the same Id?

Can you create an asset actionlist with your speech line and call it from your hotspot's interactions?

UndyingSpite

yes, something that came in my mind also, but i'm a bit affraid of doing this, cause i have set up a lot of dialogueSpeech components refering to sound files. Didn't want to mess up the IDs. What makes me a bit unsure is that when you start gathering text, all IDs are refering to a specific scene (you can filter them) - by using an assetList it's not referenced to the scene right?

If two speech lines with the same ID and same text/speaker are found, then the Speech Manager will combine them into one entry in the list of found lines.  Duplicating a line with an ID will re-use the same ID, as you've seen - so you should be able to re-use the same audio file for both.

But i have no control over the ID - Duplicate works only within the same sceen.

For example:

Scene A - Id: 200 - Speaker: Tex - Line: "Hello"

Scene B - Id (not generated yet) - Speaker: Tex - Line: "Hello"

will Combine them? (Id 200)

Using the same text/Speaker will work?

As i expexted, it won't work only with the same text/speaker. You said ID/Text/Speaker - but how can i do this without editing the Id he should reference to?

ChrisIceBox

You have to duplicate the speech Action itself - not create a new one and try to edit the ID number.

Unity has a problem with copying Actions between scenes, but you might be able to do so if you copy/paste the Action into a temporary ActionList asset first.  (So copy scene -> asset -> scene).
