Hi,

I was working on the integration of a typewriter-style SFX as subtitle text is being displayed in dialogues (text showing as if being typed).

Since we are using Wwise, I created a set of events to tackle this. One Wwise event would start a typewriter-style sequence to be played when a line is launched. So far so good. The problem I have is, when I'm trying to stop this sequence when a line is finished or canceled (read: skip to next line). The skip thing works, but not the Line End, even if they are the same (see attachment).
Do I understand the Conversation Line End properly? Is it checking when a line is finished being displayed/typed? If that's not the case, is there any way to check when a text is finished being written?

Thanks a lot !

Dave

Hi Dave,

Can you use the Dialogue System's built-in typewriter effect? It works for Unity UI Text or TextMesh Pro. If so, configure the typewriter effect's OnBegin() event to call your PostWwiseEvent.postWwiseEvent - DialogueTypewriter_Start, and configure the OnEnd() event to call the same with DialogueTypewriter_Stop.

If you can't do that, keep in mind that conversation events such as OnConversationLineEnd are only sent to the hierarchies of the Dialogue Manager GameObject and the two GameObjects that are used as the active conversation's actor and conversant. More info:

• Character GameObject Assignments
• Dialogue System Messages

Hi Tony,

This works PERFECTLY. I was already using the Text Mesh Pro Typewriter component, so this was a super easy fix.

Again, thanks a bunch !

Dave

Glad to help!
