Guide: Creating a Dialog

Create a branching conversation that can be started by dialogID.

Workflow

1. Open Tools → Dialogue Graph System → Dialogue Graph.
2. Create a new graph.
3. Add nodes and connect them.
4. Save the graph.
5. Add it to DialogManager.dialogGraphs.
6. Start it from gameplay code.

Example starter script

using DialogSystem.Runtime.Core;
using UnityEngine;

public class TavernNpc : MonoBehaviour
{
    public void Talk()
    {
        DialogManager.Instance.PlayDialogByID("tavern_npc_intro");
    }
}

Validation checklist

• Start has an outgoing link
• every choice option has a valid target
• the dialogID mapping exists in the manager
• the scene has a working UI panel
