Hi!

I'm a little confused. Let me try to explain my intent.
Basically there's two things, dialogue and barks, that I want.

Dialogue you see in the video has the big text boxes. And they have the "rule" of being click-to-continue. Player needs to hit a button to progress.

The barks are different because they are a different because they have no window around them and do not require a click to continue. And all of this is working fine. The problem I have is switching back.
You see in the GIF I posted that the main character does bark, but he has problem returning to his normal textbox.
He's set up to have a dialogue and a bark, but so far doesn't work.

I tried SetPanel(Calico_ACS, Custom, immediate), but that didn't work either.

Can you configure barks to run separately from conversations? In this case, barks would use the bark UI, and conversations would use the regular box dialogue UI.

If that's not possible, you'll need to wait for version 2.2.48 in which SetPanel() should let you set the panel back to whatever you've assigned as the custom panel.

I think I can "hack" a solution to get around it using scene calls, but if SetPanel is going to get updated then swell!
