Change delay of response panel appearing

[AlGicquelOneiric]

Hi!

I'm trying to figure out how to personalize the dialogue system (I have 2.2.28).
I've noticed that in both demo scenes, the response panel takes quit some time to appear (around 3 seconds).
Is there any way to reduce that delay?

Thanks.

Hi,

The response menu shows up once the preceding dialogue entry's Sequence has finished. If you haven't set the dialogue entry's Sequence field, it will play the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Sequence, which is initially set to: Delay({{end}}). This delays for a duration specified by the keyword {{end}}. The value of this keyword is based on the text length and Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Subtitle Chars Per Second and Min Subtitle Seconds. For example, if the text is 150 characters long as Subtitle Chars Per Second is 30, then {{end}} will be 150/30, or 5 seconds. For more info on sequences, see Cutscene Sequences.

If you're using a typewriter effect on your subtitle text and you want to delay only until the typewriter has finished, you can either change the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence to:

Code: Select all

Continue()@Message(Typed)

or set Character Subtitle Seconds to the same value as the typewriter effect's Characters Per Second (e.g., 50) and Min Subtitle Seconds to a low value such as 0.5.
