Easiest way to skip dialogues

Hi everybody!

Which is the easiest and fastest way to let the player skip dialogues by simply pressing a key?

Is there somewhere any checkbox to activate without scripting anything? ;)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Yes. Inspect the Dialogue Manager. Set Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Continue Button to Always or Optional. If you set it to Always, it will wait until the player clicks the continue button. If you set it to Optional, it will automatically advance when it reaches the end, but the continue button will let the player skip early.

Also tick the Input Device Manager component's Always Auto Focus. This will keep the continue button focused when showing a subtitle. If the player presses the Space or Return key, it will click the continue button.

If you want to map another key to the continue button, inspect the dialogue UI's continue button. Add a UI Button Key Trigger. Then select a key and/or input button name.
