Briefly Hide Quest Log Details

Post by BWLGeorge »

Howdy, been working on my Quest Log a bunch in my pixel art game and what I've done is designed a book that flips pages when switching between the Active and Completed Quests tabs. I'm not trying to do anything fancy like warp the text to look like pages are turning, but any ideas on a way to quickly and briefly hide the text from the quest log for the duration of the animation and then show it again once the animation's completed? Video example below of what it looks like at current

Hi,

In your animation, you could temporarily disable the Quest Selection Panel (the content that's on the left side of the book) or add a Canvas Group component and temporarily set its Alpha to zero.

Great tip! Ended up hooking up a sequencer to the button so I could hide and show the quest details and also send FMOD signals for page turning sounds.

Thanks for the assist!
