player skips dialogue unintentioanally

Hello,
I am doing an extensive playtesting sessions of my game and a lot of feedback included below.
I skipped a text box without wanting to do so because I pressed it at the same time the box was opening.
Is it possible to prevent below incidents?"
Would there be a way to enable "continue" only when player click on "Continue" when the dialogue showing is finished?
Currently I have it enabled to
> if dialogue is doing its "typewriting fx" -> click -> - then it shows the rest of text -> click(continue) -> next dialogue
(clearly above was not enough)
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Please back up your project and import this patch:
DS_SubtitlePanelPatch_2022-03-04.unitypackage
You may need to update to the latest Dialogue System version first, depending on which version you're currently using. If you see compiler errors after importing the patch, update to the latest Dialogue System version and the reimport this patch.
It adds a "Block Input Duration" value to the Standard UI Subtitle Panel component. If you set this to a value such as 0.5, the player won't be able to click the continue button for the first 0.5 seconds.

Hello, It is working quite nicely but sometimes it is trying to call coroutine (I assume its the delay) on inactive panel.

Could you include a coroutine to check before calling it see if its an inactive object?

Hi,
What version of the Dialogue System are you using? Can you reproduce this on version 2.2.30?

It was 2.2.21 with the UnityPackage you sent me last time that gives delay to player's input.

It was line 468 in ver 2.2..21.
In ver 2.2..30, it is in line 474 and added
to fix it but let me know if this could possibly bring other bugs.
THank you-

Hi,
Change the line to:
Code: Select all
DialogueManager.instance.StartCoroutine(ShowContinueButtonAfterBlockDuration());
This is what's in version 2.2.31, which is releasing later today.

Could you tell me what will be the difference between
a:
Code: Select all
if (gameObject.activeInHierarchy) StartCoroutine(ShowContinueButtonAfterBlockDuration());
vs
b:
Code: Select all
DialogueManager.instance.StartCoroutine(ShowContinueButtonAfterBlockDuration());
?

(b) guarantees that it will show the continue button even if the subtitle panel isn't active yet on this frame. (The subtitle panel might become active on this frame right after running this method.)
