Reply To: Recommended approach for referencing DialogueActors

[Gavalakis]

Hello again,

Indeed, one solution for you would be exactly what you suggest; to set and use a blackboard variable for the actor.
You are also probably right about “self”. A better implementation, would be to be possible for the actors to show and be selected like variables do in the variable selection dropdown.

Unfortunately though, actor parameters are not treated the same way and are not blackboard variables per-se (code architecture wise), since actor parameters are specific to Dialogue Trees, while Blackboard Variables are common in all graph systems.
I would have to think of something else, but once again, your suggested solution is probably better until then 🙂

Thanks!
