Subtitle Allow Click to Fast Forward

Post by zippo227 »

I was demoing my project recently and noticed that some people wanted to click as quickly as possible to make it through the dialogue. My dialogue starts on pressing the action button E or clicking on the NPC. When the players would click super fast the dialogue kept repeating instead of fastforwarding to the end as it does in other games. Is there a way to have clicks fastforward the current subtitle to the end?

I would like for the current subtitle to fastforward when the player clicks anywhere and the response menu is not showing. I assume there is some sort of subtitle API that I haven't found.

Hi,

Resize the continue button to cover the whole screen, get rid of its Text component, and set the image's Alpha to 0 so it's invisible. Then inspect the Dialogue Manager and set Subtitle Settings > Continue Button to Always.

If your subtitle panel doesn't have a continue button, look at one of the prefabs that does for an example.

If there are any issues, please let me know what version of the Dialogue System you're using (in Dialogue System / _README.txt) and what type of dialogue UI (Standard Dialogue UI, Unity UI Dialogue UI, etc.).
