My goal: I want to give players a way to skip/fast forward through the typewriter effect by pressing spacebar. I would like this to either:
- finish out the current line of dialogue + immediately show the player response options, or (if no response options are between lines),
- still force the player to click 'continue'. I have the continue button set to 'Not before Response Menu', in spirit of this.
Here are the issues with both approaches as they are today:
Cancel Subtitle:
If player has response options: This 'fast forwards' through the typewriter subtitle effect when an NPC is speaking, and immediately shows PC response options. Great!
If player does not have response options: this skips to the next line of dialogue without forcing the player to click the continue button. Sad!
Custom script that calls Stop() on the typewriter effect:
If player has response options: This 'fast forwards' the subtitle typewriter effect, but you still have to wait the full 'subtitle chars per second' before the player responses pop up. Sad!
If player does not have response options: this works great! Fast forwards through the typewriter effect, and the continue button is there and not skipped. Great!
Do you have an idea for a best approach here? Thank you!!
