Could you please tell me what is that checkbox called? Is it the

Code: Select all

Tie Sequences To Dialogue Entries
or something else? If it is - could you please explain what it does? Does it mean that the Sequencer Commands are now terminated when the corresponding line ends being displayed?

Hi,

Yes, that's the checkbox.

When the checkbox is UNticked (the default), sequences defined in {Sequence(...)} run in parallel to subtitles, but the timing of the sequences and subtitles are not tied to each other. When Ink processes a line containing text and a {Sequence(...)} function, Ink runs the sequence as soon as it processes the line. At the same time, the conversation pulls the line from Ink and shows it as a subtitle (or response menu). But the subtitle's duration is not tied to the duration of the sequence.

When the checkbox is ticked, the integration waits to start the sequence until it displays the subtitle. It associates the sequence with the subtitle so that the subtitle ends when the sequence ends.
