How to remove UI Continue Button Fast Forward effect?

Post by lizukadaky101 »

Hi, I am having trouble with disabling the mentioned effect above. I have had used this on but I decided that I do not want it anymore. I tried turning off and disabling both the OnClick event and the script itself (see screenshot below) but with no luck. Only case where I managed to turn it off it also broke the Continue button as a whole. Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

(To be more clear, I wanna keep the effect itself, I just need to remove the on click Fast Forward part)

Hi,

Remove the StandardUIContinueButtonFastForward component and all elements in the Button component's OnClick() UnityEvent.

Hello,
thank you for your response. Yes I did that, but it still Fast Forwards when I click the button during the dialogue line.

Hi,

Are you saying that, if the typewriter is still typing, the first click fast-forwards the typewriter to the end of the text instead of advancing the conversation? If so, make sure your modified dialogue UI is assigned to the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Dialogue UI field.

Yes, it is indeed assigned. The first click fast forwards the text, and after a brief pause advances it. What I am here trying to achieve is having the continue button only appear at the end of each dialogue line/node/window, so that the player can control the time of the text being displayed to him(in case of a slow reader or something) and advance it only after they have read it. And the typewriter effect that I have is fast enough already, so I wanted to remove the fast forward on click.

Sorry if this is confusing, but Im really struggling

Oh, I think I understand. Inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject. Set Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Continue Button to Always. If I understand correctly, what's happening right now is that the conversation isn't waiting for the player to click the continue button before advancing the conversation.

Once you've confirmed that this works the way you want, you may want to run it by a few playtesters. They may want the fast forward effect again.
