Ok see image

I found that the under subtitle settings that the first 3 checkboxes is enabled, but as soon as i press play, all 3 gets unchecked. When i check them in runtime it works again.

Please advice why it does this happened, how can it stay checked?

Hello Toni

Sorry for bringing life to this thread again, but it is related...

See image below

As you know my first cutscene worked like a charm.
But i cant get the second to work.

Its a new conversation. Is it because on this conversation it is only the PC/monitor that speaks? I mean no actor..
When my player approached the pc desk, then i after first dialogue text i inserted a blank with a sequence. But it does not work, it just continues the convsation as if there was no sequence in there..

Instead of an empty, can i use a camera? I have setup a camera to focus in on the pc wich i want to be active during the convastion..

Please advice

Hi,

Yes, you can use the SwitchCamera() sequencer command to switch to a different camera.

However, check the Console window for errors or warnings. Maybe it's immediately going past that dialogue entry node because the Sequence has an error.

But can I have one only way communication?
So all the nodes are only my pc/NPC talking?

Because as soon as I had one node of the player in there it works.

But when I only ha e grey nodes my pc then it skips the node with the camera closeup ??

To change a node's Actor (speaker), inspect the node. Then set the Actor dropdown or click the up+down button to swap actor and conversant.
