changing 'Display subtitles forever until user skips it?' via script

Chicky

Hey, I'm working on some accessibility features at the moment and one tester who is a non-native English speaker has requested the option for subtitles to stay on screen until skipped.

I don't really want this to be enabled by default as it will mess with the pacing for cutscenes with speech files.

is there a settingsManager function I can call to toggle the 'Display subtitles forever until user skips it?' checkbox? I was unable to find it in the scripting guide.

Thanks!

Never mind, I was being dim, I should have been looking at the SpeechManager attributes, not SettingsManager.

I needed to call this: https://www.adventurecreator.org/scripting-guide/class_a_c_1_1_speech_manager.html#a6209c9af84404cbf41964f9874826c31

And for anyone who finds this thread in the future, here is a small script I made:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class ACToggleSubtitles : MonoBehaviour
{
//This variable holds a reference to the Speech Manager
private SpeechManager speechManager;

//Start is called before the first frame update
void Start()
{
    // Get the Speech Manager from the AC's KickStarter
    speechManager = KickStarter.speechManager;
}

// Function to toggle the 'Display subtitles forever until user skips it' option
public void ToggleSubtitlesForever()
{
    if (speechManager != null)
    {
        // Toggle the boolean value
        speechManager.displayForever = !speechManager.displayForever;

        // Optional: Print the current state to the console for debugging
        Debug.Log("Display Subtitles Forever: " + speechManager.displayForever);
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.LogError("Speech Manager not found!");
    }
}

}

I simply put this script on an empty game object in my Options Unity UI prefab, make sure the Options menu has a toggle button (and linked to AC menu manager), then under the Toggle's 'On Value Changed (Boolean)' event I drag in that game object with the script and navigate on the drop down to ACToggleSubtitles - ToggleSubtitlesForever() function.
