Typewriter effect only works on initial window open?

Post by random »

Hello!

Pretty much just the title! The typewriter effect will work when the window is first opened. But after selecting a response, the new subtitle text does have the typewriter effect playing. Is there a way to circumvent this?

Hi,

I'm guessing that the typewriter effect only works when the window is first opened because its Play On Enable checkbox is ticked. You should UNtick that checkbox for typewriter effects on subtitle text GameObjects.

Make sure the subtitle text GameObject is assigned to the subtitle panel's Standard UI Subtitle Panel component's Subtitle Text field.

If that doesn't work right away, check if the Basic Standard Dialogue UI prefab works correctly. (Temporarily assign it to the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Dialogue UI, then enter play mode to test.)

If that works but yours doesn't, try again and check for any errors or warnings in the Console window.
