Pausing typewriter mid sentence

Post by Oskar »

Hi!

We're trying to figure out how to execute the following

There's this narrator part where text appears on the screen. Then it pauses and the player would pick a option on how to continue the story. Example:

Narrator: "I'm Mike. My childhood was...(pause and waits for player input)"

a. great
b. terrible

the player would choose the option and the story would continue with the chosen line.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can handle them as separate dialogue entries, and append them to the text instead of starting a new line. This post has an example scene and example code for appending text to the same paragraph instead of starting a new one: How To: Color Actor Name and Indent Text.
