6. Character Portraits and Name Tags: Advanced Dialogue System

Now that we have dialogue appearing in-game, let's add some character portraits and name tags as well.

For now, I plan to release one video each week until the series is complete.

If you're interested in seeing this series happen a little faster, you can support the project by visiting my patreon site (below).

Next Video: Monday, May 15, 2023

Most informative series i've followed on youtube, thanks for the effort. The editing is well worth it, makes it much easier to follow too

i've got a problem. The name is updating and showing as intended but the portrait stays at the image i set in unity inspector. i've added those lines to the SetCharacterInfo():
Debug.Log("Character Name: " + currentCharacter);
Debug.Log("Character Portrait: " + currentPortrait);
and it looks like it's updating but the image stays as it was.

I’m sorry, but I’m having a compilation error that I can’t figure out how to fix and it’s putting me in Safe Mode 😅

Basically, when we try to look at the NPCDialogue script to use “Conversation” it doesn’t have Conversation defined anywhere within the NPCDialogue script. I tried rewatching the video in which you made the script to see if I had missed anything, but I hadn’t, there is no definition for it. If you know how to fix this issue I would greatly appreciate it 😄

And even if you can’t it’s all good, but I was wondering if at the end of the series you could go through and do one last video essentially recapping the series, where you would kinda just go through and at least briefly scroll through each script once? And could you give a quick demonstration of how to create conversations using the scripts in the series? At least for me it is kind of difficult to follow exactly how to use them over the course of multiple videos, especially when I’m following them in class each day and following a single video takes at least half the class period 😅

Sorry as to how long this comment is, and of course these are all up to you, but at the very least thank you for reading all of this and thank you for the amazingly helpful videos! I saw you’re a highschool teacher, and I’m using your videos to help me make a project for highschool myself :D If I ever get the game to a state that I’m satisfied with I would definitely share it to you somehow if you wanted 😄(I still need to figure that part out though lol)
