  I've found 3 other posts on the forums around this same question - (ranging from 2018 - 2021)

  Unless something fundamental has changed with the way parameters are setup, I'm guessing the simple answer is I need individual dialogue play actions seperate from my neat little action list asset, in order for the gather text function to find them.

  Happy if there's a new way around it, if not i can get editting!

  Dialogue holds more data than just the raw text - it also needs to know who the speaker is, as well as audio/lipsync data, etc. For this reason, you'll need to use a dedicated Dialogue: Play speech Action to store it.

  You can still rely on parameters to reference this, however. There are a couple of ways to do it:

  1. Store each speech Action in its own ActionList asset, and then replace your "Speech after pickup" String parameter with a Unity Object parameter. In the ALA_Bard_Gene.. asset, use this parameter to run a second ActionList: Run Action with Wait until finish checked. It's then a case of setting this parameter value to the asset that holds the speech Action you wish to play.
  2. Create a new scene, and store each speech Action in a single Cutscene. Gather the text, and then make a note of the ID you wish to play. Then, use this Action - which supports Integer parameters - to reference and play the line.
