❔ trying to get my Dialog system to be with a key press and not just walking into the npc, unity 2d
I've been trying for awhile now to make it so it works but, everything I do doesn't work.
I have all the code, it works but when you walk into the npc, and I want to figure out how to do it when I walk up to the npc and press the Z key at the same time. thank you

Don't start conversation on collision, then
Two ways I used to add interaction on key press in Unreal, something similar should be doable in Unity as well:
1. On key press, sphere cast towards the camera, get a reference to the hit object, check if it implements an
IInteractable inteface, if so proceed with dialogue
2. Spherical or capsule collider around every interactable object, perhaps abstracted to a component. On key press check all interactable colliders
The first method is, IMHO, better. Lets you pack interactable objects closer together, and the player has more precision when picking what they want to interact withalright
that is true, just need to figure out how to set that up!
I still quite neww to coding, thats why i asked lol,
