      The DialogueTree API seem to have some breaking changes in 2.6.2. I couldn’t find a migration guide in either the readme or quickstart, and the 2.6.2 project upgrade from the menu bar didn’t help either.

      Most problematic issue: The “StartDialogue” method mentioned in the documentation seems to be gone.
      (Because our game logic depends on this call to start dialogues, I couldn’t investigate further. Maybe more is broken)

        Hello,

        Indeed there were some breaking changes in Dialogue Trees but these really had to be done to support Unity 5.5. I am really sorry for that.
        Basically, the change is that DialogueTree is no longer “attached” to a gameobject and has been replaced with DialogueTreeController (which holds a reference to a DialogueTree object) very similar to how it is done with BehaviourTreeOwner and FSMOwner.

        All the methods have been moved from DialogueTree class, to DialogueTreeController class. So for example this:
        gameObject.GetComponent<DialogueTree>().StartDialogue(), has to be replaced with:
        gameObject.GetComponent<DialogueTreeController>().StartDialogue().

        Please let me know if you need further help.
        Thanks a lot.

          Thanks! We could upgrade our logic and it’s working without problems so far! Also totally appreciate the sub dialog feature, will be a good tool to clean up our messy large conversations 🙂

            You are very welcome!
            I am very glad everything is working for you thus far 🙂
            The SubDialogue Tree can indeed be useful for cleaning up large trees. I am very glad you like it!
