How to play Timeline and close dialogue Ui from last node's sequence field

Post by PepeJEe »

Hey! I am trying to play timeline when I press "I got the coins" button which is the last node in the conversation. I am able to play the "ScoutFarewell" timeline using speed or play, but the ui doesn't close, it will stay open. Could use a little help, thanks :)

-best wishes, Pepe

Hi,

Timeline(speed) should run right away and allow the conversation to end. If you were to use the Timeline() command's 'play' or 'resume' parameters on the last node, include the 'nowait' and 'nostop' to allow the conversation to end while the timeline continues playing.

I tried with both the speed and play, including [nowait] [nostop] but i't still doesn't end the conversation. The last node is staying green. Oh and I just realized it gave me this weird error?

I managed to get rid of the error. And now the ui closes. I include these [] with "nowait" and "nostop" which messed it up a bit, stupid me...
Thank you Tony!

Hi Pepe,

I'm glad you got it working. For future readers: square brackets around parameters is a convention that means the parameter is optional. If you include the parameter, do not include the square brackets.
