---

The Dialog Participant Component belongs to the Actors you want to participate in Dialogs of your level.

The Dialog Subsystem calls Dispatchers on those Components, whenever they participate in the current running Dialog. If not, nothing happens on them.

Dispatchers

Name	Called by	Info
OnDialogStarted	Subsystem	This Dispatcher gets called whenever a Front or Back Dialog is started by the Subsystem. The default usecase is to setup an Actor's SceneCapture2D or Posing for dialogs.
OnDialogFinished	Subsystem	This Dispatcher gets called whenever a Front or Back Dialog ends via the Subsystem. The default usecase is to reset the SceneCapture and posing after dialogs.
OnReceivedEvent	Subsystem	This Dispatcher is called by each Event-Node of the running Dialog. It returns a Tag to identify the Event, an Array of Global values (defined in the Node) and a MassTag Container for multiple tags of the Event. This Dispatcher can be used to Switch on the EventTag and process different Events of the Dialog, like Animations, Camera travels and such.
