Conversation issue

Jojo

Hi,

i`ll made conversation like in tutorial video. But conversation menu doesnt appear.

In menu manager it look like this

How to set this?

Jojo

I desided to create custom conversation menu like in tutorial "Creating diary system".

Appeared a new problem: all hotspots in a background is active. When clickin on a menu button, character starts moving.

Do you have Ignore cursor clicks? in the Menu's list of properties unchecked?  You'll probably need to post some screenshots of what you have.

on hotspot

in menu manager

Dialogue menus are turned on a different way to regular Menus - you instead set the "Appear type" to "During Conversation", and it'll then appear automatically whenever you initiate a Conversation using "Dialogue: Start conversation".

You can modify / copy from the default Menu Manager's Conversation Menu - it's easier than starting from scratch.

ok, i need same menu for character speech. 

For that i used appear type "When Speech Plays". I want to add next button (in this menu) to switch to the next speech and dont wait, but game is freezing during this speech.

I turn on "Play in background" and return to problem: all hotspots in a background is active.

Currently, Menus don't respond to clicks while you're in a cutscene.  If you want to disable Hotspots during gameplay, then you can use the Engine: Manage systems Action to disable the "Interactions" system.

thanx, and one more question. 

When speech consist of one or two words it's disappears very quickly.

how to increase viewing speech time ?

(if i use "wait time offset" or Pause game then it disappear very quickly too, after that made pause)

You can control the text display speed at top of the Speech Manager.

If you're using scrolling text, and want to pause mid-speech, you can insert e.g. [wait:2] to wait for 2 seconds into the speech text box directly.
