Embed cr in dialog text?

mterlecki

I have a very long dialog audio clip that I want to play using "Dialogue:Play speech" - with subtitles. I have run into several problems.

If I put all of the text in one "Dialogue:Play speech" action - only the first few lines are displayed because the dialog box fills up with text and then output stops.

My solution was to split the written text into chunks, then I saw the Speech Manager had an option for "Treat carriage returns as separate speech lines?" My understanding is that this will clear the dialog box before each line of text is displayed. This seemed like the perfect solution - however I can not figure out how to embed a carriage return into the string??

Just pressing the return key while typing in the message and putting strings on separate lines does not work. Trying to embed the standard escape sequence "\n" does not work - it literally prints "\n" I have tried numerous variation with no luck. I looked at the source code and it is looking for '\n' so I'm on the right track.

The question is - how do I use this feature or what is the best way to enter the text for a long audio clip?

Odd.  You're right - the escape sequence is exactly what it looks for when separating the lines.

Then again, my own tests have only involved a literal carriage return, rather than typing the escape sequence by hand.  I will look into it.
