Delaying fade time of key words in Alert Panel

[nathanj]

Hi Tony

Just a speculative conversation/question.

I was wondering about what would be involved in having key words remain on the screen slightly longer than the main body of text in the Alert Panel.

I'm using a Text Mesh Pro Style Sheet so I can already do a lot of customisation, but being able to have key words hang n the screen slightly longer would be a nice option.

Just an idea really but I'm curious about what you think

Thanks again,
Nathan

That sounds like a cool effect. Currently it would require a custom subclass of the dialogue UI (e.g., UnityUIDialogueUI) that overrides the HideAlert method. It could copy the text to a duplicate TMProUGUI that only shows the keywords, then fade out the original, then after a delay fade out the duplicate.

As I'm putting the final touches on version 2.0's Standard Dialogue UI, I'll think over better ways to support effects like this.
