Dialogue without an NPC

Hi,

I have a character in a seperate scene in a treehouse, and then in another scene i have the tree itself. Before entering the treehouse scene I want to have dialogue coming out of the tree but without an actual NPC, how would I set this up so that on approaching the tree dialogue can be seen coming out of the tree?

Thanks!

    Just attach the NPC script to an empty GameObject, and set the Animation engine to Custom.

    This works great thanks, however, how do I ensure the dialogue is only by the tree and not featured in my game window wherever I am in the scene? (it's a very wide scene)

    Thanks

    You can uncheck Always fit within screen? in the Subtitle menu's properties.

    Thanks, is there a simple way to have a dialogue loop on start from the invisible NPC that isnt in on start or a trigger?

    You don't have to place the Dialogue loop within the OnStart directly.  You can use the ActionList: Run and ActionList: Run in parallel Actions to reference a separate ActionList that contains the loops.  The latter allows you to run multiple ActionLists (or chain of Actions within the same one) at the same time.

    thanks, any reason why i would be getting StackOverFlowException when I call my cutscene ONStart from my ActionList:Run that has a three dialogue loop?

    I cant find the checkbox for always fit within screen in my subtitle menu.

    any chance you can show me on a screenshot?  lol

    @jamesfootlight: That'll be an error meaning you're running things on a continuous loop without any delay, i.e. it's running all the Actions instantly.  Be sure to have a "Wait until finish?" or an "Engine: Wait" Action in there.

    @klarax: It was introduced in v1.48 - are you up to date?
  • klaraxklarax
    No, 1.47.  Had a feeling it might be since wouldn't find it. 

    AC keeps getting better. Love it !  :D
