Can Skip through dialogue without it ever appearing on screen

Post by dkirwan »

Hi There,

In our conversations the player can click straight through the dialogue without ever reading or seeing the text.
How can we stop the playing from clicking through the dialogue too fast?

We have tried using the min subtitle seconds but it doesn't alter anything.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,

Edit your dialogue UI, and set the subtitle panel's Block Input Duration to a value such as 0.1 to 0.5. You can also tick the Wait For Open and Wait For Close checkboxes.

Can you show me where the block input duration is? I cannot find anything about this in the dialogue manager.

We are keeping the dialogue panel on screen and only changing the portrait pictures when different people are speaking. Does the wait for open and wait for close work in that scenario?

Disregard Wait For Open/Close in your case.

Block Input Duration is on the dialogue UI's Standard UI Subtitle Panel component(s). Inspect your dialogue UI. This is presumably assigned to the Dialogue Manager GameObject's Display Settings > Dialogue UI field. Then dig into the dialogue UI and locate the subtitle panels.

Hi Tony,
Thank you very much for your help. That fixed it.

I cannot believe I didn't see it on the subtitle panel.
