[Solved] Bubble Subtitle: Small bubble appears before resizing

[EatAllTheGames]

Hi!

I've searched around but failed to find the solution.

I'm using the bubble subtitle, typewriter, and TextMesh pro.

Before every line of dialogue, a small empty bubble appears... here it is in a short video

How can I avoid this?

Thank you for your time!

Hi,

Could that small empty bubble be the same as the regular text bubble, just resized small because its content children aren't active yet? If so, check your animators. If it happens with the Bubble Template Standard UI Subtitle Panel prefab included in the Dialogue System's Prefabs / Standard UI Prefabs / Templates / Bubble folder, please let me know.

Hello Tony

Thanks for the reply

Yes this is using the Bubble Template Standard UI Subtitle Panel prefab. I followed your instructions in another thread to make use of it.

I've not touched the animators and so on - what could it be?

Does the "BubbleSubtitleExample" scene on the Extras page show the same issue?

Can you post screenshots of your Dialogue Manager's Subtitle Settings inspector section and the Dialogue Actor component on the character?

Hi!

The BubbleSubtitleExample doesn't do it.

I've attached both of the screenshots - hope for a solution!

I've also attached the inspector view for the "Bubble Template Standard UI Subtitle Panel"'s "Standard UI Subtitle Panel" within one of my Actors. If it matters - I'm using Text Mesh Pro (and typewriter)!

EDIT: I replaced Unity Text with TextMeshPro Text in the sample scene you provided, it works fine there too

Inspector view from one of my Bubble Panels (note that it's using a Sliced image, although changing to Simple didn't resolve it, the bubble that appears first is just larger)

I don't understand the animations much, but if I set the Speed for the "Show" node to 0.1, I see the small bubble fade in slowly, and then jarringly switch to the bigger bubble ready for the typewriter.

Going to stop tinkering now because I'm out my depth! Please let me know when you can

Hi,

If you untick Delay Typewriter Until Open, does the small bubble issue go away?

Hi Tony! Crazy to think that one checkbox was the source of all my tinkering. The small bubble issue goes away at the start. However, it's still there at the end. Is that intended?

I'm direct messaging you a video that demonstrates this (not ready to share it with public just yet!)
