How to auto play the conversation skip the contunure button?

[shortlin]

As title,

I want to set a button to let player could click it to see the story auto play.

I had no idea about this.is there a function in Dialogue system ?

Or get the typewriter,find the end time to use DialogueManager.conversationView.OnConversationContinueAll();?

But I did not find the finished function..

Hi,

If you want to advance each subtitle after the typewriter effect has finished -- but only if the player has clicked the auto-play button -- add a small script to the dialogue UI like this:

Code: Select all

using UnityEngine;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;
public class HandleAutoPlay : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool autoplay;
    
    public void OnTypewriterFinished()
    {
        if (autoplay) GetComponent<StandardDialogueUI>().OnContinueConversation();
    }
}

Then inspect the subtitle text's typewriter effect. Configure the OnEnd() UnityEvent to call HandleAutoPlay.OnTypewriterFinished.

To turn on autoplay, set the script's autoplay variable true.

Thank you,Tony.
I just want test what I thought if it is right.I write this code in Start After some seconds:

Code: Select all

        UnityAction endAction=()=>
        {
            [the Standard UI GameObject].GetComponent<StandardDialogueUI>().OnContinueConversation();
        };
        [The Typewriter GameObject].GetComponent<TextMeshProTypewriterEffect>().onEnd.AddListener(endAction);

But It seems could not run,the Unity always Crash.Could you point out what's wrong with this code?

I don't see anything immediately wrong. Try tracing through with the debugger or adding Debug.Log lines. If you can't find the issue, please feel free to send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com.

I had wroten Debug.Log.
It would run
when the dialogue system is opened and typewriter finished.

So I tried to let the fisrt time skip,but It would be crash when I used GetComponent<StandardDialogueUI>().OnContinueConversation();.

I run it in another computer,sometime it would not be crash,but it would be this error:

Couldn't extract exception string from exception of type StackOverflowException (another exception of class 'StackOverflowException' was thrown while processing the stack trace)

Finnally I found my solution,just let OnContinueConversation() execute after 0.5 second.It will be ok.

Now,I Have another question is I want to use "ctrl" key to let the connversation speed up.when I enter the "ctrl",I use this code:

[TextMeshProTypewriter gameObject].GetComponent<TextMeshProTypewriterEffect>().charactersPerSecond =seedUp;
DialogueManager.displaySettings.subtitleSettings.subtitleCharsPerSecond = seedup;

And when exit the keyboard "ctrl" I used:

[TextMeshProTypewriter gameObject].GetComponent<TextMeshProTypewriterEffect>().charactersPerSecond =origenSpeed;
DialogueManager.displaySettings.subtitleSettings.subtitleCharsPerSecond = origenSpeed;

if I exit the ctrl and the typewriter has not finished,the words typing will stop.And I had no idea to solve this,Is there a better way to let all conversation speed up with enter "ctrl",release "ctrl" will recover the speed?

P.S I also set DialogueManager.displaySettings.subtitleSettings.subtitleCharsPerSecond,just becaule I want the{{end}} in sequence is right second,but it seems not really work.

Hi,

You can adapt the scripts in this post to speed up or slow down the typewriter while it's typing.

This post has a speed-up example that includes the scripts.
