Issue with Typewriter Effect and Word Wrap

Post by RoboMoogle »

Hey there,

I'm having an issue with the typewriter effect and the word wrap. As text is writing out it seems to include a space at the start of each line or so that is then removed at the very end, causing a strange sort of jump. It's almost as if the typewriter is writing, then realizing it needs to readjust. This never happens with the top line of dialog, just the following ones. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you!

Hi,

Which typewriter effect are you using? The Unity UI "Unity UI Typewriter Effect" component? The legacy Unity GUI "Typewriter Effect (Unity GUI)" component? Or another one? Also, what version of the Dialogue System?

If you're using Unity UI, you can try the updated typewriter effect in the Unity UI Support package on the Dialogue System Extras page. It doesn't have anything specifically for the issue you described, but it does have some other improvements.

Please also feel free to reply with reproduction steps or send an example project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com. I'll be happy to take a look.
