@Message(Continued) not working?

Post by Vacerdin »

Hello!
This past days ive been learning a lot about this wonderful plugin. However i think i need a little explanation and help from this particular topic.

Im developing an Visual Novel, i´ve used the VN template and modified it, my continue button is set to always and all the other configs are mostly intact.

Im trying to make a Fade sequence after the player has clicked the continue button however when i use @Message(Continue) or @Message(Continued) nothing happens. I think It stopped working?

It did work although if i used it twice it wouldnt work. Can it be used twice?

What could be the problem? maybe i ticked something i shouldnt have

When the player clicks the continue button, any remaining sequencer commands that have "required" in front of them must run and finish immediately. For example, the sequence below is valid because SetActive() runs immediately:

Code: Select all

required SetActive(Force Field)@Message(Continued)
The Fade() command, on the other hand, runs over time. To do the fade, put it on the next node, like this:

Oh!
So ive been using the @Message(Continued) wrong haha

Thanks for the help! I did the fading transition just as you showed and it worked pretty well.

But now i have another problem, id like the text to stay while the transition works. Is it possible?

Hi,

Have you tried setting the subtitle panel's Visibility to Always From Start or Always Once Shown?
