Hey.
Is it possible to ignore typewriter speed during some dialogues?
Thanks.
Edit: Also what's the main difference between "Subtitle Char Per Second" in Dialogue Manager and Unity UI Typewriter Effect in Standard Dialogue UI. Which one should I use?

Yes. Put these two characters at the beginning of the text:
That's the
RPG Maker-style control code to show the text all at once instead of typing it out character by character.

The typewriter effect's Characters Per Second controls how fast the typewriter types.
The Dialogue Manager's Subtitle Chars Per Second helps determine the value of the sequencer keyword {{end}}. This keyword is frequently used in sequences. For example, the initial value of the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence is:
This tells the Dialogue System to keep the subtitle visible for the duration specified by {{end}}.
Let's say your text is 120 characters long, and Subtitle Chars Per Second is 30. Then {{end}} will be 120 / 30 = 4 seconds. So it will keep the subtitle visible for 4 seconds.
Your typewriter effect's Characters Per Second should be at least this fast. Otherwise the Dialogue System will hide the subtitle before the typewriter has finished.
