Animate Characters While Speaking

[PayasoPrince]

I got it working!

I downloaded the scene you provided. The only discrepancy I noticed was that you used:

Code: Select all

required AnimatorPlay(Idle)@Message(Typed);

rather than

Code: Select all

required AnimatorPlay(Idle)@Message({{end}});

I ended up adding @Message(Typed) inside a Dialogue System Trigger and it seemed to work.
Still not seeing anything that is called from Timeline work in Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence unfortunately.

I guess my only question is, what does @Message(Typed) mean and how is it different from @Message({{end}})?

I got it working!

Great!

• @{{end}} makes the command wait for the duration of the {{end}} value.
• @Message(Typed) makes the command wait for a sequencer message "Typed". The typewriter effect sends this message.

I used @Message(Typed) only because that's what the original scene that I worked from used. @{{end}} should work just as well.

Still not seeing anything that is called from Timeline work in Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence unfortunately.

Sorry, I don't understand. If you want to dig into this, let me know.

Well, as of now I'm satisfied using it this way. I don't really mind setting the sequence for each actor's Dialogue System Trigger. I am curious why it wasn't working with the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence, but as of right now I don't think its necessary diving into it. I'll definitely let you know if I ever need to get it working the former way.

Thanks for all the assistance!
