Hi,

Inspect your typewriter's Audio Source and make sure Loop is UNticked.

If your audio clip is very long and you don't want it to finish out when the last character has been typed, you can configure the typewriter's OnEnd() UnityEvent to call the Audio Source's AudioSource.Stop method.

Hi, I don't know how to "configure the typewriter's OnEnd()" but I just find AudioStop() on documentation and successfully done what I want by using these sequence


Audio(NpcVoice1);
AudioStop()@Message(Typed);


Is this also the correct way to do it ? or I'll have a problem in the future ?

That's fine if it does what you want. It will stop the audio playing on the speaking character.

If the typewriter's audio source isn't set to Loop, then it will stop when the last sound has finished on the last character. If you want to cut off the audio playing on the typewriter effect as soon as the last character is typed, you can configure OnEnd() like this:

Thank you !

I've found another problem, when my player response to my npc there are sounds from demo playing like
"Can't find the password" , "I'm still working on it" but I don't add those sound myself.
How can I remove them ? I use VN Template Standard Dialogue UI.

Hi,

Remove or rename this folder:

Plugins / Pixel Crushers / Dialogue System / Demo / Resources

Then inspect your Dialogue Manager GameObject. Set Display Settings > Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Sequence to:

Code: Select all

Delay({{end}})
