I know I'm necro bumping this thread, but I have a question.
I tested this dialogue system and after some tweaks, it is working as I want. It's a great system without touching that Scaleform (Flash license is absurdly expensive in my country, more than 5 times than the original price).
But I hit on the wall when I tried to make it functional with a gamepad (or joystick ^^). I'm working with a gamepad support for my game. All Pawn movements, actions and firing system are working with the exception of the mouse on dialogue window.
Has anyone a clue? I'm not asking for a tutorial, just a little clue is enough for me.
Thanks!

ashr0n repliedHello,
I wanted to use this dialogue system in a multiplayer enviroment but it doesn't work. After i've researched the problems i came to the realisation that i couldn't work in his current state and i somewhat understand the reason for it (the client doesn't know the GameInfo, etc). Apparently i need a GameReplicationInfo Class but i don't really know what variables i need to store the GRI Class. Some say i could also store the variables in the playercontroller class if the other clients don't need to know what the other clients see.
As you see i'm a "little bit" confused by the multiplayer networking server/client stuff.
Has anyone tried this dialogue system in a multiplayer enviroment can help me with that? Or point me to some good tutorials about replication concerning displaying a HUD?
Thanks in advance

Nightmask3 repliedSolution for latest build
Hey, I got this working just fine in the latest build.
Me and a team of 20 people are making a game called 'The Nightmare' for a school project, and I really needed a simple and cool dialogue system with choices.
Thanks a bunch man!
EDIT : Hallo, I ran into some issues, namely the cursor being stuck at the top left of the screen during the Dialogue state. I managed to get past that using some help from the UDN Gem on how to enable a mouse interface. It's really simple actually, all you need to do is change the way the HUD class updates the mouse position because UIScenes was disabled in the latest build. It's achieved using the MouseInterfacePlayerInput class instead.
This is in the DIA_HUD class:
Code:function vector2D GetMouseCoordinates() { local Vector2D mousePos; local MouseInterfacePlayerInput MouseInterfacePlayerInput; local UIInteraction UIController; UIController = PlayerOwner.GetUIController(); if (CursorTexture != None) { // Cast to get the MouseInterfacePlayerInput MouseInterfacePlayerInput = MouseInterfacePlayerInput(PlayerOwner.PlayerInput); if (MouseInterfacePlayerInput != None) { mousePos.X = MouseInterfacePlayerInput.MousePosition.X; mousePos.Y = MouseInterfacePlayerInput.MousePosition.Y; } } return mousePos; }
Code:function DrawCursor() { local Vector2D MousePosition; local DIA_PlayerController PC; PC = DIA_PlayerController(PlayerOwner); if(!PC.NoChoice()) { MousePosition = GetMouseCoordinates(); // Set the canvas position to the mouse position Canvas.SetPos(MousePosition.X,MousePosition.Y); // Set the cursor color Canvas.DrawColor = CursorColor; // Draw the texture on the screen Canvas.DrawTile(CursorTexture, CursorTexture.SizeX, CursorTexture.SizeY, 0.f, 0.f, CursorTexture.SizeX, CursorTexture.SizeY,, true); } }
Code:class MouseInterfacePlayerInput extends PlayerInput; // Stored mouse position. Set to protected write as we don't want other classes to modify it, but still allow other classes to access it. var ProtectedWrite IntPoint MousePosition; event PlayerInput(float DeltaTime) { // Handle mouse // Ensure we have a valid HUD if (myHUD != None) { // Add the aMouseX to the mouse position and clamp it within the viewport width MousePosition.X = Clamp(MousePosition.X + aMouseX, 0, myHUD.SizeX); // Add the aMouseY to the mouse position and clamp it within the viewport height MousePosition.Y = Clamp(MousePosition.Y - aMouseY, 0, myHUD.SizeY); } Super.PlayerInput(DeltaTime); } defaultproperties { }
Code:DefaultProperties //Of DIA_PlayerController { CameraClass=class'Dialogue.DIA_Camera' // Set the input class to the mouse interface player input InputClass=class'MouseInterfacePlayerInput' }
Hope that helps!

kkingcobra repliedOriginally posted by S ha d View PostHello everyone,
I worked yesterday and today on a small and simple system of dialogue to get familiar with Kimset nodes and I think this would be stupid not to share it rather than roting on my hard drive. Thank you to belzaran for the precious help!
So a very simple system with the ability to place choices during dialogues. Everything is configurable in Kismet and a little documentation is supplied with!

- Beta version 0.1: Here
(updated for July Beta)
Thank you.
Can anyone or has anyone got this system working again in the 2012 version of udk, i am currently trying to fix the code i have tried this piece the DIA.HUD
function Vector GetMouseWorldLocation()
{
local MouseInterfacePlayerInput MouseInterfacePlayerInput;
local Vector2D MousePosition;
// local Vector MouseWorldOrigin, MouseWorldDirection, HitLocation, HitNormal;
HitLocation = MyPlayerController.HitLocation;
// Ensure that we have a valid canvas and player owner
if (Canvas == None || PlayerOwner == None)
{
return Vect(0, 0, 0);
}
// Type cast to get the new player input
MouseInterfacePlayerInput = MouseInterfacePlayerInput(PlayerOwner.PlayerInput) ;
// Ensure that the player input is valid
if (MouseInterfacePlayerInput == None)
{
return Vect(0, 0, 0);
}
// We stored the mouse position as an IntPoint, but it's needed as a Vector2D
MousePosition.X = MouseInterfacePlayerInput.MousePosition.X;
MousePosition.Y = MouseInterfacePlayerInput.MousePosition.Y;
// Deproject the mouse position and store it in the cached vectors
Canvas.DeProject(MousePosition, MouseWorldOrigin, MouseWorldDirection);
// Perform a trace to get the actual mouse world location.
Trace(HitLocation, HitNormal, MouseWorldOrigin + MouseWorldDirection * 65536.f, MouseWorldOrigin , true,,, TRACEFLAG_Bullet);
return HitLocation;
}
Error, Unrecognized Type 'MouseInterfacePlayerInput'

bcmorris repliedHello, Did anyone ever fix the "mouse interaction" on this. I'm using the 2012 Build (v109499) November beta I think.
I can't select any of the choices, mouse is stick in upper left corner.
Or is this system pretty much dead. Any alternatives?

G_Trex repliedHi all
I'm having a go at getting this system to work, but am having a problem during the full recompile stage.
The error code is :
Code:Analyzing... C:\UDK\UDK-2013-02\Development\Src\Dialogue\Classes\DIA_HUD.uc(193) : Error, Unrecognized member 'DrawTextCentered' in class 'Canvas' Compile aborted due to errors.

Does anyone know how I could get it to work?
