Responses lag

[rauljl1]

Hi Tony.

My responses buttons take too long to appear.

Basically, I want they to appear after all the text is shown.

Im using textAnimator with dialogue system

So, I want they to appear after this -> textAnimator.allLettersShown;

Hi,

Set up the Text Animator integration. (See the Additional Setup section.)

Then set your Sequence to something like:

Code: Select all

WaitForMessage(Typed)

[rauljl1]

What I want is for the "response buttons" to be displayed when the text has been typed. Without a delay or something like that. How do I do that?

[Tony Li]

Exactly as I wrote above.

If you require the player to click a continue button to advance, use this command instead:

Code: Select all

Continue()@Message(Typed)

Both of them rely on the sequencer message "Typed", which the Text Animator integration sends when Text Animator finishes typing.

There is no continue button. The NPC Subtitle Panel displays, the text fills and once it fills, there is an offset until the Response Menu Panel displays.

I want to eliminate that offset. I want the Response Menu Panel to be displayed as soon as all the text is filled out.

Then you must do what I suggested above. Use WaitForMessage(Typed) for the sequence.

What I want is for the buttons below to appear at the same time the timer starts.
The timer starts just when the text has just been written, but the buttons appear maybe 1sec after or some delay after.

Got it.

Please answer: Are you using the "Typed" message in a sequencer command, such as WaitForMessage(Typed)?

I assume the timer is the StandardUIMenuPanel's Timer slider? If not, let me know.

The menu delay may be because of a "Show" animation on your response menu panel. To remove this, inspect the response menu panel and remove the Animator component and Canvas Group component. Then inspect the StandardUIMenuPanel component and clear the Show Animation Trigger and Hide Animation Trigger fields.

I'm not sur if i'm using the "Typed" message in a sequencer command, such as WaitForMessage(Typed)

And also I implement some timer just because I dont' know where the Responses are shown.

What Should I do? I remove show/hide but the problem persist, so I discard changes.

Hi,

On your Dialogue Manager GameObject, what is your Display Settings > Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Sequence set to?

Have you set the Sequence fields of any dialogue entries in your conversations?

Try setting the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence to:

Code: Select all

WaitForMessage(Typed)

NOTE: This will NOT work if you haven't switched your subtitle panel to the "Text Animator Subtitle Panel" as explained in the Text Animator integration documentation.

Assign the slider to the Standard UI Menu Panel component's Timer Slider field. To specify the timer duration, set the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Input Settings > Response Timeout value and/or use the SetTimeout(#) sequencer command.
