For those who wants a trigger mechanic to work use this


private void OnTriggerStay2D(Collider2D other)
{
if
{
if (Input.GetKeyDown("e"))
{
// only load if in range and not already loaded
if (inRange && !inChat)
{

= greeting;
loadDialogue1();
}
}
}
}

public void OnTriggerExit2D(Collider2D other)
{
CloseDialogue();
}

Question, i'm using your script and it works great! my problem: i have this script on multiple npc's. and in the inspector i type different dialogues for each npc. But in the end it always goes with the dialogue options of the first npc i tried the script with, any ideas?

thnx!

How do I change the range so the dialogue only works when the player is close to the camera?

There are so many better ways to do this though

Just to say though, it's nice to have the text "tickertape"

Just have whenever you set the UI's response text set, change it from

= //blahblah

To

chatTextString = response;

Then set the UI text in an IEnumerator that gets called in Start, like so...

public float delay = 0.1f;
int currentPosition;
void Start()
{
StartCoroutine ("StartTextDisplay");
}

IEnumerator StartTextDisplay()
{
while (true)
{
if (currentPosition < chatTextString.Length)
+=

yield return new WaitForSeconds (delay);
}
}
