Subtitle panel 0 (NPC Subtitle Panel) is flashing briefly. This is because panel 0 is visible. So when you hide and then show the dialogue UI, it hides panel 0 and then shows panel 0. Then it closes panel 0 because it's on the PC line. And then it opens panel 0 again to show the next NPC line.
What if you change the Sequence to:
Code: Select all
HidePanel(0); //<--CHANGE FROM 1.
SetDialoguePanel(false);
Continue()@2;
required SetDialoguePanel(true)@2;
In fact, you may want to change it to this:
Code: Select all
HidePanel(0); //<--CHANGE FROM 1.
SetDialoguePanel(false)@0.1;
Continue()@2;
required SetDialoguePanel(true)@2;
This ensures that HidePanel(0) runs before SetDialoguePanel(false). Otherwise, since they would both run at the start of the sequence, it's possible that SetDialoguePanel(false) could run first.

Thank you. I will try that.
Howerver, as you can see the Choice 2 in the repro example does not make that problem at all. I wonder why for that one.

I think it may have been a timing issue with the animation.

2nd sequence command definitely fixed for all cases.
I might have player response followed by not just panel 0 though, any suggestions?
ps. I will use that temp project for future repros as well

Maybe hide all panels?
Code: Select all
HidePanel(0);
HidePanel(1);
HidePanel(2);
SetDialoguePanel(false)@0.1;
Continue()@2;
required SetDialoguePanel(true)@2;

I'm not sure what you mean.
SetDialoguePanel(false) records which panels are open. Then it closes the panels and hides the dialogue UI.
SetDialoguePanel(true) shows the dialogue UI and then tells the recorded panels to open.

Im just checking to see because previously, HidePanel was clearing cache of overridden panel assignments.
In version 2.2.14, hiding the dialogue UI clears its cache of overridden panel assignments
Since I am not explicitly calling "ShowPanel(0); ShowPanel(1)" but instead calling "SetDialoguePanel(true)" which seems like shows "all" the dialogue UI and tell the recorded panels to open?

Oh, sorry, I was testing on 2.2.15, which is pending release on the Asset Store. It doesn't clear the cache.
