problems with typewriter effect

Post by Arcanor »

I've noticed two problems with the implementation of UnityUITypewriterEffect:

1. It can't handle multiple instances of emphasis in the subtitle line string.

2. It's impossible to get it to go really fast, at least in the editor. I've set the speed up to 5000, but it's no faster than 100.

Hi,

For #1, on the Dialogue Manager tick Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Use Rich Text Codes. This will allow multiple emphases.

For #2, update to version 1.5.5.1, which includes an updated typewriter effect that can run as fast as you want. 1.5.5 and earlier were capped at one character per frame update.

Thanks Tony, it seems to be working fine now.
