SetPanel() for menu panels and TypewriterEffect delay

Post by TobyM »

Hello!
Finally got around to use your dialog system in a project, so far I'm really enjoying all the features it offers!
Just got two questions: In the documentation, I found a markup ([panel=#]) and a sequence command (SetPanel()), which can change the subtitle panel. Is there anything similar that can be used for switching the response menu panel? While tinkering around I found out, that the dialog actor component is able to set a menu panel, so it seems that at the very least switching between response menus is possible. Is there any way to set the response menu within a conversation?
My next question is about the Typewriting effect: Is there a way to set delays to certain characters? In my case, I would like to give every "." a bit of a delay, so there's a short break between sentences. I could, of course, add a \. to every point but that would be a bit cumbersome.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Thanks for using the Dialogue System! I'm afraid the answer to both questions is currently "not yet".

I'll try to get this into the next update.

I'll also try to get this into the next update. I expect the way it will work is that you'll be able to specify additional delays for specific characters, such as 1 second for "." and 0.5 seconds for ",".
