Action "Display text" does not break

Hi!

I am doing a cut scene, where the character comes into the room, says something, walks somewhere and starts a conversation.

The "saying something" is accomplished with an action in the scene. (See picture 1)
But somehow i can´t get him to "pause"/break the lines.

Any ideas?

thx

You shouldn't really add all of your text into the same display text - it's ok if you are not planning on adding speech files.

example:




Quick note: if you want to display multiple texts in the same display text, then you need to make sure you write them all on the same line - in other words don't press enter or add to the end of them.

If you want to create a pause between displayed texts (a period of time until the next text is shown) then you should create each text inside of its own display text action part & add a pause action part after the display text action to pause the action list itself.

hey! thx for the explanation! the br-tag was my idea of doing

, thanks for clearing that up.

Is it also possible to click and he jumps to the next line like in the dialogues?

so for example i do:

So jetzt ist es passiert.<p5000ms> Meine Eltern haben mich rausgeschmissen...<p5000ms> ... und meinen ich soll was gescheites studieren.<p5000ms> "Ich soll Akademiker werden" blalblabla.<p5000ms>Mhm, na dann werd ich mich wohl mal anmelden...<p5000ms>Vielleicht weiß der Portier mehr..<p5000ms>ich werd mal ganz nett fragen...

and if somebody wants to skip the line he clicks?

Just answered the question to myself. I forgot to check "skip text allow always" in the game options.

cheers

With that option enabled texts can be skipped during cut-scene actions or when you use the hide / show cursor action part. You can actually disable or enable text skipping whenever you like by setting the option via Lua script while the game is running...
