Different animation of the character's portrait during lines and dialogue [SOLVED]

Greetings!

I would probably recommend using a button per animation & assigning the animation as the default animation so that it shows as soon as the button is active. You would also want to create a value per character & then assign each value to the relevant animations belonging to each specific character & assign each animation a number, so what you would end up with is something along the lines of: 1 = default, 2 = happy, 3 = sad, 4 = angry, 5 = excited, 6 = bored, etc.

Values are great when you need multiple states. Alternatively you could store the current animation inside of a Lua variable or something & then use Lua to tell it to stop playing said animation.

portrait_anim = "example"

stopAnimation(Animations[portrait_anim]) -- it's either Animations or ActiveAnimations, I forget which

Thank you very much for the answer! 

At the moment, I solved it as follows.
Kept the above system. To make the portrait appear in the "dialogue" mode, all the same, I created a button with the default animation and assigned this animation to it by default. I made this button dependent on the variable that controls the display of the universal speech bubble. Thus, this portrait appears by default during the initial remarks, even in the "dialogue" mode.

Further, when the dialogue develops, for example, in a replica in the “execute action”, there I can already control the portraits using a separately created variable for all these buttons. To prevent the default portrait from crawling out during each replica, in the first frame of the animation of each button with different emotions, I set to perform the action: hide the default animation. If you need to return during the replicas back to the default animation and hide all the other "call actions", and there we reset the values  of the variable responsible for other portraits to -1.

Hmm... so it's sort of working, but not quite? Values would work fine. As for dialogs you do know there is a section that lets you add action parts to it?

Anyway, in regards to the dialog system in general, I would highly highly recommend not using it as intended. Tick the alternative text for dialog part checkbox & leave both the answer to dialog part text input box & the alternative text for dialog part text input boxes empty, & then add action parts to the execute action section on the right hand side & with that section you will be able to manually use display texts, play/stop animations, manipulate values & conditions, etc. Overall it's just a much more flexible way of handling dialogs as you get a lot more control over what's happening.
