Changing Delay until RespondBox is shown

[TheGaijin87]

I guess im stupid or something but i am not finding a setting for the delay until the respond window is shown. I have a dialog, that runs with the typewriter and all and its working great. Then when the typewriter finishes, it takes around 2.5 seconds + fade-in time until the respond window is there. I would like to change this to something like 0.5 seconds + fade-in or so but neither in all the assets nor in the manual im finding a setting for this. im sure its there but it would be awesome if you could point me in the right direction :/

Hi,

Short answer:
Inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject, and set Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Min Subtitle Seconds to 0.5. Set Subtitle Chars Per Second to 50.

Detailed answer:
The Dialogue System plays a cutscene sequence with every conversation node.

The conversation stays on a subtitle node for the duration of that node's Sequence. If the node's Sequence field is blank, it will use the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Sequence.

The Default Sequence is initially set to: Delay({{end}})

This delays for a duration specified by the keyword {{end}}, which is computed from the text length and the Subtitle Chars Per SEcond and Min Subtitle Seconds.

You can change the Default Sequence, and of course you can assign specific sequences to any node's Sequence field, too.

For more info about cutscene sequences, see the tutorial series: Cutscene Sequences Tutorials
