Godot Version

Question

Don’t know if this is where i ask this, since this is a plug in, but ive got no where else so here i go

When using dialogue manager 3, watching the tutorial video, it gave me the error “Error at (7, 5): Identifier “DialogueManager” not declared in the current scope.” Usually, i would be able to fix this, but what im confused about is that the offical video for the plugin has the manager working, even without identifying that variable. (Beginner dialogue tutorial for Godot 4)

Did i do something wrong?

extends Area2D

@export var dialouge_resource: DialogueResource 
@export var dialouge_start: String = "start"

func action() -> void:
	DialogueManager.show_example_dialogue_balloon(dialouge_resource, dialouge_start)

You didn’t activate the plugin. So the DialogueManager autoload isn’t loaded. That may have been my bad for not telling you to do that as part of the download.

  1. Go to Project → Project Settings.
  2. Select the Plugins tab.
  3. Click the checkbox next to the Plugin name.
