Common Issues (FAQ)

Can't start dialogue?

• Confirm LoadDialogueDataAsset was called before StartDialogue

• Check that SequenceName exists in the data asset

• Ensure StartNodeID is valid and matches an existing node ID

• Confirm the component has been added to the Actor

---

OnDialogueNodeExecuted not being called?

• The first node must be a text type; choice/event/delay nodes do not trigger this event

• For other node types, also bind OnDialogueChoiceNodeExecuted and OnDialogueEventTriggered

• Check DisplayDelay settings (0 = immediate, >0 = delayed)

• Event bindings must be completed before calling StartDialogue

• Verify StartNodeID exactly matches the node's NodeID (copy-paste, don't generate)

• Ensure node Conditions are empty or all conditions evaluate to true

• Component and Actor must be tickable (not paused/disabled)

• Verify event signature matches the delegate: Node(FDialogueNode), SpeakerInfo(FSpeakerInfo), NodeID(FGuid)

---

Conditions not working?

• Variable names are case-sensitive

• Value types must match the ValueType setting

• Comparison values must be string representations (e.g., booleans: "true" or "false")

• All conditions in the array must pass (AND logic)

---

Auto-advance not working?

• Check that AutoAdvanceDelay > 0 on the text node

• If AutoAdvanceDelay = 0, you need to manually call AdvanceDialogue()

• Verify the component is ticking

---

Manual advance not working?

• AdvanceDialogue() only works when:

  • The current node is a text type

  • AutoAdvanceDelay = 0

  • The node execution callback has completed

• Other node types continue automatically

---

Choice timeout not triggering?

• Verify SelectionTimeout > 0 on the choice node

• Ensure TimeoutNodeID is set and points to a valid node

• Check that the component is ticking
