Actor Name Change - Typewriter effect doesn't run
Posted: Mon Feb 14, 2022 1:38 pm
Hello!
Thank you again for your support last time!
I'm currently running into this issue where sometimes a character's dialogue subtitle doesn't run the typewriter effect. I noticed this happens whenever I change a character's actor name via Actor["Actor"].Display_Name = "Name" but I could be wrong. It currently happens in one conversation where the actor's display name is changed in one node. I pasted the error info below.
When the actor speaks, it shows the entire dialogue then skips to the next entry after a few seconds. To clarify, it only happens to one specific actor.
Let me know what you think!
Thank you!
