Can I skip the PC Subtitle only for some node?

Post by fkkcloud »

Hi,

How can I skip the PC Subtitle only for some node?
FYI, I have `Skip PC Subtitle After Response` flag off for general case in my game

Thank you,

Hi,

To skip a subtitle, set the subtitle's Sequence to Continue().

I've put Continue() for Player's response sequence in order to skip PC subtitle like you suggested (which comes after the choice/player input) but it shows the hide animation which ends up looking like a bug.

I will need more details to help. How is your dialogue UI set up? Is the player's subtitle panel always visible? What do you want to happen?

My dialogue subtitle is not always visible for PC or NPC.

The subtitle animates in and out with CanvasGroup alpha + minor animations based on the AnimationTrigger.
Almost the same as Persona 5 dialogue box.

For my cases, I am showing PC subtitles as the player select from the Response menu.

But for this specific case, I don't want to show PC subtitles. (like how it skips if you toggle on `Skip PC Subtitle After Response` checkbox)

Does the PC subtitle panel briefly appear and then immediately hide? If you're using an older version of the Dialogue System, you may need to set the Sequence to: None() instead of Continue(). Please try that.

None() just shows the PC subtitles after selecting Response.

and yes, Continue() does briefly appear and then immediately hide the PC subtitles.

I am on 2.2.14

Hi,

Does the Sequence contain only "None()" and no other commands?

I can't reproduce the same issue here. If I set the Sequence to None(), it will not show the subtitle at all. Can you send me a reproduction project or reproduction steps?

It only has None() in it.

You are doing it in PC's Response Menu, correct?

Yes, in the dialogue entry node that shows in the PC's response menu.
