So how far have you gone codewise? Anything we can look at?
normal zodiac
I believe so- My instructor told me to download a toggle script to use on the placeholder human mesh
at one point i actually had it so colliding with the mesh disabled the dialogue window- I dont know why it doesnt occur anymore.
paper robin
Can you show your code?
toxic plaza
on the placeholder character attach a script with OnCollisionEnter(){}

If the character has a trigger already, you can use OnTriggerEnter on either it or the player character. That'll fire whenever a Rigidbody enters the trigger area
If it's a solid collider, the same but with OnCollisionEnter instead
normal zodiac
using System.Collections;
public class ToggleObjectTrigger : MonoBehaviour
{
public GameObject Object;
public bool SetObject = false;
void OnTriggerEnter (Collider other)
{ //this is looking for another object with the tag "player"
if (other.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
Object.SetActive(SetObject);
}
}
}```Triggers will let the character pass through
normal zodiac
This is my toggle script on my placeholder
paper robin
Maybe you removed the player tag from your player object?
normal zodiac
I doubt that- the controller still has the tag
toxic plaza
collision will be like a car accident, and will simulate physics
normal zodiac
paper robin
do you get any errors?
lone maple
Does either object have a Rigidbody on it?
paper robin
And how are you moving your player? With physics or transform.position = ?
normal zodiac
I have no idea- we were given a third person controller and havent touched it.

Triggers will let the character pass through
the trigger is meant for the interaction/dialogue zone, not an actual collision on the human to trigger the dialogue . . .
normal zodiac
the player has a rigid body on it. the placeholder doesn't
toxic plaza
if(collision.gameObject.tag == "Player")
{
Debug.Log("you hit me!");
}
}```Originally I wanted the player to be able to simply walk up to the mesh and press an interact key like F or E to intitiate the dialogue, like In skyrim or any other game
But collision seems easier
toxic plaza
if using trigger make sure it's checked as a trigger

Just put a Debug.Log("other"); in your OnTriggerEnter without any if statement to see, if it actually hits.
lone maple
the player has a rigid body on it. the placeholder doesn't
The Three Commandments of OnTriggerEnter:
- Thou shalt have a 3D collider on both objects
- Thou Shalt tick
isTriggeron at least one of them - Thou Shalt have a Rigidbody3D on at least one of them
toxic plaza
ok then use the OnTriggerEnter loop
normal zodiac
I don't know what that means, Sorry
toxic plaza
rigidbody3d

I'm an art student
lone maple
Rigidbody3D is just a normal Rigidbody
toxic plaza
dont use the 2D one
normal zodiac
So both actors need rigidbodies on them
spring stone
hah, same path i took. art student to programmer . . .
normal zodiac
It's being forced onto us
paper robin
Never a bad thing to know the other side
normal zodiac
This is a group project and im the only person willing to do this >_> but hey programming is cool
normal zodiac
Never a bad thing to know the other side
Absolutely
Putting the rigidbody on the placeholder npc made it dissapear (possibly fell through the map?)
toxic plaza
that is likely, freeze it's position
normal zodiac
Just untick use gravity?
toxic plaza
sure
spring stone
This is a group project and im the only person willing to do this >_> but hey pr...
man, this couldn't be more true. my school didn't have any programming classes (all art), but we had to make a game for assignment . . .

Got it
So essentially I want this show conversation thing to appear when colliding with the white character- but right now it persists on the HUD
permanently
toxic plaza
did you drag in the text gameobject to the inspector field for Object?
also instead of using SetObject bool, just pass in true for now
and disable the start conversation text gameobject in the hierarchy before you hit play
toxic plaza
or actually set it before using it. before calling Object.SetActive(SetObject); Say SetObject = !SetObject
toxic plaza
um no, the eyeball just disables the visibility
toxic plaza
no the canvas, but the text element specifically
untick the text gameobject and you'll see it go grey in the hierarchy
toxic plaza
that is the component
normal zodiac
toxic plaza
you want to disable the gameobject above that
and I would child the white background under the text as well
normal zodiac
This is very confusing I'm sorry.
toxic plaza
normal zodiac
Kind of
toxic plaza
or all of it?
toxic plaza
if you want all of that to pop up, then add an empty as a parent to all of it and then disable it
toxic plaza
it might, but I usually leave the canvas enabled and put a parent empty below the canvas and disable that
normal zodiac
So just add an empty below that dialogue system empty?
toxic plaza
just empty
toxic plaza
haha it's okay
toxic plaza
yes
normal zodiac
Got it
toxic plaza
I'm not sure what dialoguemanager does but we'll go with it
normal zodiac
I was following a Brackeys tutorial
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_nRzoTzeyxU
It just contains a dialogue manager script
which I dont exactly know what it does either..
_>
toxic plaza
I would drag the dialogue manager up above and put it at the same level as dialogue system parent empty
toxic plaza
yeah perfect
