How to define custom position labels?

[bmcarbaugh]

When a character joins a scene, there are various pre-set positions relating to the default 5-portrait layout that ships with the engine -- leftmost, left, center, right, and rightmost.

I'm working on a custom layout that has more/different positions. How do I create those presets, i.e. tell Dialogic, "This one right here, this is position 'PizzaHut' ". That way I can have a character appear at that position when they join a scene?

The tooltip in the engine says to consult the documentation. All the documentation has to say is this:
"If you want more/other preset positions you will have to create a custom portrait layer. You then have to change the position names that will be suggested in the timeline editor in the Settings>Portraits."

I know I can add position names on the settings page of Dialogic, but I can't figure out where, in a layout, I tell the engine "This position corresponds with this position name."

The key thing that is missing is adding new PortraitContainer nodes and setting their container_ids in the inspector to the names you want to use.

Ah, got it! Thanks. That was driving me nuts.

For anyone else who finds their way here: this is the solution. Set the container ID, add that to the settings menu under Portraits in Dialogic, call it in a script, et voila.
