Enabling text scrolling for some dialogues

OllyMUK

Hi

Is it possible to enable scrolling (typewriter effect) for certain dialogues or lines of text in an actionlist? I have some robots that I'd like to enable the typewriter effect for. I can use a script to enable the effect before I start the actionlist but seems ideal to have a tick box that says "enable scrolling".

Any ideas?

It's a global setting, rather than a per-character one - you'd need to affect the Scroll speech text? field in the Speech Manager through script.

If you already have a script to do this, you can call it within the ActionList itself by running the Object: Call event Action. If you place your script on a prefab, you can reference the prefab directly (not inside the scene), and then select a function that sets it to the correct state, e.g.:

public void TurnOnScrolling ()
{
    AC.KickStarter.speechManager.scrollSubtitles = true;
}

If you wanted to avoid having to locate this prefab each time, you could move this Action to a separate ActionList asset, and then run it via the ActionList: Run Action whenever you wanted to enable scrolling.
