NPC and Player Subtitles appearing on screen simulatenously rather than sequentially

Post by Nevrak »

Hey there,
I'm having an issue where my subtitle dialogue for both my players and my npc's dialogue is appearing simultaneously. This, in essence, means that if there's multiple NPC's the subtitles works as intended, where the subtitles will appear one at a time. (With the typewriter effect as well), but the moment a player selects a response menu option, the subtitle for the npc response to that response menu option's subtitle appears simultaneously.

I am using the default sequence of

Code: Select all

Delay({{end}})
My Dialogue Manager settings look like so:

And here's a gif of what's going on:

Any and all help or advice would be appreciated, I've been banging my head against the wall on this for quite some time, playing with nearly every setting to no avail.

Hi,

Make sure the Dialogue Manager's Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Player Sequence field is empty (no blank spaces).

Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Is your dialogue UI based on the SMS Dialogue UI? That is, does it use the SMSDialogueUI script? If not, how are you implementing the scrolling history of subtitles?

Hey Tony,
The Default Player Sequence field is empty.

But that said, we are not using the SMS Dialogue UI. I didn't know that existed! I rolled my own system utilizing binds to the dialogue system event. We are using the standard dialogue UI. I'll investigate swapping out with SMS!

If switching to the SMS Dialogue UI doesn't help, then if possible please send a reproduction project and reproduction steps to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com.
