Make menu panel show quicker

Post by davidlim »

Hi, I want the main menu panel (response menu) to show right after the typewriter has finished displaying the subtitle (npc text).
Right now it takes around 2 - 3 seconds.
I was able to achieve that by making the subtitles char per sec larger (100) but that also makes the npc text show quicker.

How can I do that ?

Hi,

Set the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Min Subtitle Seconds to zero.

Min Subtitle Seconds defaults to 2, which means the subtitle will sit for at least 2 seconds before going to the response menu.

Hi Tony, thanks for the quick response, I've already tried setting the Min Subtitle Seconds to zero, but it does not seem to work as can be seen in the attached gif.

Set Subtitle Chars Per Second (the field right above Min Subtitle Seconds) to the same value as your typewriter effect's Characters Per Second. The default value of Characters Per Second is 50.
