Custom Delay Time before Continue?

[gamefang]

Hello,

I want to make a delay time, after the REAL dialogue text is done. It's working when add some rich texts like so:

1.png (9.32 KiB) Viewed 454 times

however I guess it shall be easier and even customizable. Maybe a variable could be defined in script(better in cs), to controll this delay time?

Hi,

When the typewriter is done, it sends the sequencer message "Typed".

Your sequencer commands can listen for this message. For example, to delay 2 extra seconds after the typewriter is done, use this Sequence:

Code: Select all

Delay(2)@Message(Typed)

If you require the player to click a continue to advance, and if you want this line to automatically advance instead of waiting for the player to click continue, use this Sequence instead:

Code: Select all

Delay(2)@Message(Typed)->Message(Delayed);
Continue()@Message(Delayed)

If you want to delay for a variable amount of time, define a Number variable in the Dialogue Editor. For example, say the variable is named "DelayDuration". Then you can change the original Sequence to:

Code: Select all

Delay([var=DelayDuration])@Message(Typed)

That's the best way, thank you very much!

I replaced the Default Sequence in Dialogue System Controller:

Code: Select all

Delay([var=DelayDuration])@Message(Typed)

so the player can select:
1. seriously reading:
- Continue Button -> Not Before Response Menu(must click)
- DelayDuration -> 0(no need to wait)

2. casual reading:
- Continue Button -> Never(automatic continue)
- DelayDuration -> player customize(depends on reading speed)

already tried and everthing was working good!
