Hi, when the NPC starts to talk, the AudioClip only sound 1 time and not each character. I have no idea why it is not working.
Thanks.

Hi,

Check the duration of your audio clip. If the typewriter effect's "Interrupt Audio Clip" checkbox is unticked, the effect will allow the audio clip to play for its full duration. If the audio clip has a long bit of silence at the end, it could sound like it's only playing for the first character.

If that doesn't help, check the Console window for errors or warnings.

Yes, it had a long silence at the end. Thanks.
And I can add more than one for each character. I mean, the player have x AudioClip when he talks and x NPC have another AudioClip.

If you want to play different typewriter audio clips for each actor, see: How To: Vary Character Mumble Speak With Typewriter Effect

It was working but when I added a portrait this is what happen:

The cross is the portrait, the image doesn't load, and the position is wrong.

Hi,

Check the Rect Transform of the portrait image. For example, the scale could be wrong.

(I use custom subtitle panels)
Well, I found the problem, but I don't know how to resolve it.
The Dialogue UI of the character is created as children of it.

But with the player, works correctly.
Here is a screenshot when the player talks:

Here when the NPC (YOU) talks:

I don't know why it happens.

Hi,

Do your actor GameObjects have Dialogue Actor components?

If so, are you using overhead bubble subtitle panels like in How To: Show Overhead Conversation Bubble Text?

If not -- that is, if you want to use panels that are part of your dialogue UI -- then:

1. Inspect your dialogue UI. Assign those subtitle panels (Subtitle Panel Player and Subtitle Panel YOU) to the Standard Dialogue UI component's Conversation UI Elements > Subtitle Panels list. Also set the appropriate ones to the Default NPC Subtitle Panel and Default PC Subtitle Panel.

2. On your actor GameObjects' Dialogue Actor components, do not set Dialogue UI Settings > Subtitle Panel Number to Custom. Instead, set it to the number that corresponds to the element in the Subtitle Panels list (e.g., Panel0, Panel1, etc.).

Okay, thanks so much. The problem was using custom panel. Again, thanks so much.
