Textline Typing Message Effect

Post by Dmangames »

Hi Tony,

Is it possible to implement a iOS or Facebook messenger like effect where the use will see 3 dots "..." in a speech bubble when the NPC is typing?

I was thinking this effect could be controlled by the Pre Delay Settings.

It would really add to the feeling that you are talking to another person instead of an NPC.

Thank you for the support and I look forward to your response!

Hi,

Good idea! I'll add that feature in the next version.

Very interesting, maybe in the current version you could add a small animation that simulates it, like a gif that appears and then disappears?

Yes. That's coming in the next version of the free Textline addon. :-)
