Hi All,
I'm having an issue whilst trying to gather text ready for voiceover recording.
I use a handy temaplate action list asset for all of my "pickup" actions, which gives me a dialogue parameter before the pickup, then all the pickup actions (hiding hotspot, hiding item, adding to inventory etc) then another dialogue line once it's in the inventory.
It's a handy, quick and neat way to have a single action list Run item for any item in the game, which i just alter with the parameters for each item: (See image)
Unfortunately it seems the "gather text" function of the speech system does not read these parameter based dialogue entries.
Have i misunderstood a setting somewhere?, or does anyone have a workaround or advice on how to ensure these diaogue lines are collected?
Thanks in advance

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:
