Subtitles for UI animated cutscenes

Post by Fitbie »

Hi Tony and everyone!
In my game there are "cutscenes" - pre-drawn in png animation "cartoons" telling some stories of the game, they are not real-time cutscenes but just 1920*1080 animator frame-by-frame sequences.
I'd like to add explanatory subtitles to them, but I can't use the dialogue UI for them. I'm thinking of adding a Text components and adding Localize UIs, but it seems to be quite difficult, maybe there is a way to make it easier and more elegant? Thanks!

Why not use a dialogue UI? You can use a dialogue UI whose only visible elements are subtitle text. If you only want to use it for your animated cutscenes, and use a different dialogue UI for regular conversations, use an Override Dialogue UI component.
