Special effects in conversations

Post by Ollymuk »

Hi

Is there a way to have special effects applied to text in conversations?

I'm thinking of cheesey 80's stuff like bouncing text, or changing font size, flashing etc.

Hi Olly,

Yes.

A free way to do a few effects is to use TextMesh Pro. (See TextMesh Pro Support.)

An easy way to get really cool effects like bouncing, flashing text is to use a paid asset called Text Animator for Unity. (See Text Animator for Unity Integration.)

Thanks tony

As this uses textmesh pro, does that mean I mean I need the full license of DS or, as it's a third party integration that's using the textmesh pro, does that mean I can stay with the demo a while longer?
