Adding a brief pause in the dialogue between two sentences.

Post by fightmemichelle »

How can I add a brief pause in dialogue separating two sentences spoken by the same person? I want them to type out in the same node.

Hi,

Add the code \. between the sentences, such as:
  • Dialogue Text: "I waited. \. And then I continued."
Some other RPG Maker-style codes[/url] are available, too. On the Dialogue UIs page, jump down to the Rich Text Codes And Control Codes section.

If you want to pause automatically at certain punctuation, inspect the subtitle text's typewriter effect and specify those characters in the Full Pause Characters or Quarter Pause Characters fields.
