Change delay for responses

Hello,

currently whenever we send a response the next one appears only after several seconds, how can we change the duration?

Regards
Alexander

Hi,

Inspect your Dialogue Manager GameObject. Set Display Settings > Input Settings > Default Player Sequence to a blank string. If that doesn't remove the delay, check the animation on the response panel. If it's configured to play a hide animation that isn't working, and if the next subtitle panel specifies Wait For Close, then it may wait for a timeout before showing the subtitle.

Hello,

unfortunately your suggestions didn't work. I have removed the Delay Macro as you can see here:

Your other suggestions don't really fit as I have not used any of the prepared UI implementations for they were overkill for my simple needs.

Here is my very simple implementation

Code: Select all

namespace Thrixxx.HappyTreeFriends.Messaging {

    using System;
    using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;
    using UniRx;
    using UnityEngine;
    using Zenject;

    public class MessengerDialogUI : MonoBehaviour, IDialogueUI {

        private MessageService messageService;

        [Inject]
        public void Inject(MessageService messageService) {
            this.messageService = messageService;
        }

        #region Implemention of IDialogueUI

        public event EventHandler<SelectedResponseEventArgs> SelectedResponseHandler;

        protected void OnSelectedResponseHandler(SelectedResponseEventArgs e) {
            SelectedResponseHandler?.Invoke(this, e);
        }

        public void Close() {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void HideAlert() {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void HideQTEIndicator(int index) {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void HideResponses() {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void HideSubtitle(Subtitle subtitle) {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void Open() {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void ShowAlert(string message, float duration) {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void ShowQTEIndicator(int index) {
            // Nada ...
        }

        public void ShowResponses(Subtitle subtitle, Response[] responses, float timeout) {
            messageService.PublishCatalogue(new ResponseCatalogue {
                Responses = responses,
                Timeout = timeout
            });
        }

        public void ShowSubtitle(Subtitle subtitle) {
            var message = new Message {
                Text = subtitle.dialogueEntry.DialogueText,
                DateTime = DateTime.Now,
                IsPlayer = subtitle.speakerInfo.IsPlayer
            };

            messageService.PublishMessage(message);
        }

        #endregion

        #region Unity Lifecycle Events

        public void OnEnable() {
            messageService.Responses.TakeUntilDisable(this).Subscribe(x => {
                OnSelectedResponseHandler(new SelectedResponseEventArgs(x));
            });
        }

        #endregion
    }
}
There is no delay anywhere in the code above, also not in the UI as it responds instantly to changes at the moment. Currently after sending a response, the next ShowSubtitle method call is instant, but the ShowResponses call takes a couple of seconds to arrive.

Alex

Hi,

Unless you set the Sequence field of every dialogue entry, your Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence should be set to something. Try setting it to:

Code: Select all

None()
