Pausing text output until fade finished

[mina]

Hi there! Love the plugin it's been super useful in my workflow and I can forsee it helping a lot in the future as well!

I'm currently using it while having a full screen picture being displayed on the screen I want to fade out, change the picture, then fade back in. Currently I have this setup in the sequencer

Code: Select all

SetContinueMode(false);
Fade(stay)->Message(SetPortrait);
SetPortrait(Intro Cutscene,pic=2)@Message(SetPortrait)->Message(Done);
Fade(unstay)@Message(Done)->Message(ReallyDone);
SetContinueMode(true)@Message(ReallyDone);

Which works great but the problem is the text starts typing already during the fade in. I couldn't find anyway to make it stop within the sequencer is there a custom module or something I could be using for this? Or is there a better route I should be taking for what I want to achieve

Hi,

Insert a new node before this one. Leave the new node's Dialogue Text blank, and move this sequence to the new node.

Thank you very much it worked! Just to check I have other questions but I'm not sure if I should make a new thread for each question or if it'd be better for me just to continue using this thread

If they're related, you can use the same thread. If they're very unrelated, please start a new thread. That'll help all of us when we need to search a particular question in the future.
