Going over the Dialogue Editor.
The Dialogue Editor allows you to visually edit a Dialogue Graph.
Menu Options
Right-clicking in a blank space in the graph will open the menu options.
Disconnect All

Cut
Cuts all selected nodes and connections.
Copy

Delete

Add Node
Opens the node selector to add a new node.
Nodes
Nodes can be freely moved and connected with other nodes. You can edit a node through the Node Inspector by clicking on the node.
Dialogue
The Dialogue Node allows you to create dialogue for a specific character. You can also use it to set the emotion that the character is currently feeling.
Properties

Show Emotion Bubble

Voice Line

Choice
The Choice Node allows you to create choices, which can be used to branch out dialogue into unique paths.
Properties
(Timeout) Enabled
If timeout is enabled.
(Timeout) Length
The length of time the player has to make a choice.
(Timeout) Random
If the automatically selected timeout choice should be random.
(Timeout) Index

Delay
The Delay Node simply delays dialogue continuation for some time.
Properties

Hide Dialogue Box
If the dialogue box should be hidden during this delay.
Sound
The Sound Node simply plays a sound.
Properties
Sound
The sound to play.
Action
The Action Node can modify fields and properties or invoke methods on any GameObject or ScriptableObject. When referencing scene objects, a Scene Target ID is assigned to track them at runtime. If this ID changes—such as due to prefab modifications or scene restructuring—the object may not be located, and the node will be safely skipped during execution.
Properties
Target
The target object.
Scene Target ID
The scene target ID. This is only available if the target is a scene object, as it's used to find the object in the scene.
There may be more properties per parameter if the target class member is a method. You can use the 'Select Option' button to select a target class member.
Boolean
The Boolean Node lets you split a dialogue path based on a true or false condition. Like the Action Node, it allows you to select a class member (method, property, or field), but it's limited to members that return a Boolean value.
Properties
Target
The target object.
Scene Target ID
The scene target ID. This is only available if the target is a scene object, as it's used to find the object in the scene.
There may be more properties per parameter if the target class member is a method. You can use the 'Select Option' button to select a target class member.
Nest
The Nest Node lets you embed another dialogue graph within the current one. When triggered, it runs the nested graph from start to finish, then returns to the original graph and continues from where the Nest Node was called.
Properties
Mode
Controls the dialogue getter behavior. Depending on this vaue, you will be able to set a single Dialogue Graph or a Dialogue Group.
Mode
Single
Only use a single unchanging dialogue.
Chronological
Use a group of dialogues and go through each one by one, then stay at the last one.
Chronological And Repeat
Use a group of dialogues and go through each one by one, then repeat from the start after the final one.
Random
Always select a random dialogue from a group of dialogues.
Search Bar
The search bar can be used to quickly find specific text within Dialogue and Choice nodes. Matching nodes will be highlighted with a thick white border for easy navigation.
