Hello Forum,
I'm having some difficulty with the fast forward button in my current project. Currently I have 3 subtitle texts each belonging to different subtitle panels in my dialogue ui. 2 of said subtitle texts only serve one subtitle panel each, whereas the third serves the player's normal subtitle panel and the NPC's subtitle panel as well.
Each of these panels is using Text Animator for Unity for its typewriter effect, and I've replaced all the appropriate components. The Continue button works fine for the main subtitle text, but the other two subtitle texts I have are not affected by the fastforward. I've tried adding multiple "Text Animator Continue Button Fast Forward" scripts to the continue button and configuring it to run multiple onclick calls at once. This didn't work.
Below is a screenshot of the continue button in the inspector.
Additionally, here's what the different subtitle text configuration looks like. The top is the main subtitle text which is getting fast forwarded properly, and the bottom is the subtitle text which isn't being fast forwarded.
I can also confirm that the continue button is properly configured for all of the involved subtitle panels.
I would love some help trying to figure out how to make all these fast forward properly with the text animator plugin. If there's a configuration I'm missing or an easier way to do this please let me know.
Treating multiple subtitle texts as the same fast forward
Re: Treating multiple subtitle texts as the same fast forward
Hi,
Can you separate the subtitle texts so each subtitle panel has its own subtitle text?
If not, would it be possible for you to send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com?

Re: Treating multiple subtitle texts as the same fast forward
Hi,
I attempted what you mentioned and gave each subtitle panel its own subtitle text (one of which is identical to the other but they both clear text upon a new message.) and this seemed to make it worse, where now none of the text seems to be effected by the fast forward. Additionally I tried making a different continue button for each text and setting such that the button would be selected when the text is focused to make it easy to just hit spacebar but this didn't seem to work either.
If this gives you any more ideas for what might be wrong please let me know, in the meantime I will be assembling the reprodcution project and sending it over.
Cheers,
Raj

Hi Raj,
Thanks for sending the repro project. I replied to your email with an explanation and screenshots. In brief, the continue button fast forward script needs to know what subtitle text to fast forward. Add another continue button specifically for thought bubble panel, and configure it to point to the thought bubble panel's subtitle text.
