This page provides configuration details for UI Panel GameObjects: OptionPanel, TitlePanel, used with Dialog Prefabs.
For any UI-Panel that you'd like to show/hide, you must add a CanvasGroup, and the Hide_Show_Panel.cs script as shown in the image below.
The Hide_Show_Panel.cs script component's public fields: ShowOnStart, CloseButton, OpenButton will be configured according to desired behavior for each situation. The examples below show a few possible configurations.
Example Configuration for OptionPanel
OptionPanel prefab is a UI panel that contains 2 buttons that can be used for scene change logic in all scenes. Now that we're adding dialog to the scenes, the OptionPanel can initially be hidden when the scene is loaded. Then it's opened by the OptionPanel's script, when there's no dialog left to display. It is configured as the "NextPanelToOpen" for the SimpleDialog and DialogManager scripts.
