Please help! My dialog box is not working properly. I tried to follow some tutorials on yt and worked but the dialog box seems to stack each other child node. So the dialog box keeps restarting. But when i leave the collision area i can end the dialog
heres the code for the npc i used
extends Area2D
var can_interact = false
const DIALOG = preload("res://Scenes/DialogueBox.tscn")
func _on_NPC_1_body_entered(body: Node) -> void:
if body.name == "Player":
can_interact = true
func _on_NPC_1_body_exited(body: Node) -> void:
if body.name == "Player":
can_interact = false
func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept") and can_interact == true:
var dialog = DIALOG.instance()
get_parent().add_child(dialog)
heres the code for the dialogue box
extends ColorRect
export var dialogPath = ""
export(float) var textSpeed = 0.05
var dialog
var phraseNum = 0
var finished = false
func _ready():
$Timer.wait_time = textSpeed
dialog = getDialog()
assert(dialog, "Dialog not found")
nextPhrase()
func _process(_delta):
$Indicator.visible = finished
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):
if finished:
nextPhrase()
else:
$Text.visible_characters = len($Text.text)
func getDialog() -> Array:
var f = File.new()
assert(f.file_exists(dialogPath), "File path does not exist")
f.open(dialogPath, File.READ)
var json = f.get_as_text()
var output = parse_json(json)
if typeof(output) == TYPE_ARRAY:
return output
else:
return []
func nextPhrase() -> void:
if phraseNum >= len(dialog):
queue_free()
return
finished = false
$Name.bbcode_text = dialog[phraseNum]["Name"]
$Text.bbcode_text = dialog[phraseNum]["Text"]
$Text.visible_characters = 0
while $Text.visible_characters < len($Text.text):
$Text.visible_characters += 1
$Timer.start()
yield($Timer, "timeout")
finished = true
phraseNum += 1
return
