Delay after Response Menu submitted

[fkkcloud]

Hi,

Below is my response menu setup.
I am skipping player subtitles UI only after the response menu.
I want to put a delay like 1 second before NPC subtitle shows up.
How would I do that?

Hi,

Set the Dialogue Manager's Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Player Sequence to:

Code: Select all

Delay(1)

With the Delay(1), it works for Response Menu only
But for the single node for the player which I am not forcing it to be response menu, it still goes into NPC subtitle after Player submit.

I don't understand. What should happen instead?

So there are 2 things happening for the Player's line.

As you can see in my Dialogue Display Setting,
1) I am not showing subtitle for player when a player has more than 1 dialogue node branch.
2)I am only showing subtitle for player when the player has 1 dialogue node branch.

Delay(1) only works for 1). not for 2)

I just noticed that the Continue Button dropdown is set to Always. Please try this instead:

Code: Select all

Continue()@1

That will make 2) continue without the player pressing on the Continue button.

What do you want (2) to do?

As I click on the single branched player subtitle (not the respond menu one) for the continue button, I want it to wait 1 or 2 seconds before the NPC subtitle or whatever the next node to be continued.

Ah, I understand now! When the dialogue UI receives the OnContinueConversation message, it immediately progresses to the next stage of the conversation (e.g., the NPC subtitle).

To do what you want, configure the continue button to wait 1-2 seconds before calling OnContinueConversation. To do this, add a simple script to the PC subtitle panel's continue button, something like this:

Code: Select all

public class DelayContinueButton : MonoBehaviour
{
    public float delay = 1;
    
    public void ContinueAfterDelay()
    {
        StartCoroutine(ContinueAfterDelayCoroutine());
    }
    
    IEnumerator ContinueAfterDelayCoroutine()
    {
        yield return new WaitForSeconds(delay);
        GetComponentInParent<StandardDialogueUI>().OnContinueConversation();
    }
}

Configure the button's OnClick() event to call DelayContinueButton.ContinueAfterDelay.
