Animated Subtitle Panel Question

Post by xinhuanmi »

Hi,

Sorry if this has been answered before.
I'm trying to create an animated subtitle panel using 3 sprites, and I've added an animator component to the Subtitle Panel.
However, after the dialogue line ends or a response menu opens, the subtitle panel remains visible.
Should I link the Animator Controller to the [StandardUISubtitlePanel] and add a trigger, or is it already set up for this?

Thanks!

Hello,

Please try this: Inspect the subtitle panel and/or response menu panel. Set the Visibility dropdown to Until Superceded.

Hi Tony, thank you for your reply!

I set the Subtitle Panel → Visibility dropdown → Until Superceded.
but it still won't work.
Here is the gif for the scene.

Try setting Visibility to Until Superceded Or Response Menu. (Or Until Superceded Or Actor Change Or Response Menu.)

Hi,
I tried to change it to
[Until Superceded Or Actor Change]
[Until Superceded Or Actor Change or Menu]
It remains the same.

When the subtitle panel's Visibility dropdown is set to [Until Superceded Or Actor Change or Menu], the subtitle panel will deactivate itself when the conversation shows a response menu panel.

If this is not the behavior that you see in your scene, make sure you've set the correct subtitle panel. For example, if you've assigned a dialogue UI prefab asset to the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Dialogue UI field, make sure you change the prefab asset, not any instance in the scene.

If that doesn't help, would you please send a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com?

Hi,

I figured it out!
I added another [Animator]in animationsprites(which contains 3 sprites for the animation)
and left the [Animator]in Subtitle Panel empty but set it enabled.
Don't know why but it worked like what I expected.

Thank you so much for your fast response!! :D
