Text skip with left click using one linked audio file

Hi there

Of course to avoid too much text on your screen you have the option to skip to a part of the sentence without created several text commands for that. (Example: I think I need some help <p 3> using the software. <p 2> )
Do you need to cut the audio file in two halfs, when you'd like to combine it with this skip option and split the one command into two commands? (Example: "I think I need some help" and "using the software.")

You would need to split the speech audio files into segments & create display texts for each part. You could type the full text in each part if you want to show all of it & just assign the relevant speech audio file to each display text, that way you can skip through different parts of the speech audio while still showing the same text on screen.

Okay, thank you.
So there is no simpler way to save some time using a Lua script to let an audio file begin at a different time position or something?

Only if the sound is played with Lua script through the openAL sound engine, but the volume channel for that is linked to the sound effect channel & can't be changed. Unfortunately there is no in-engine method for assigning multiple speech audio files to a single display text - besides it only takes a few seconds or so to create/copy paste a display text action part, type some text, & link a file to it.

The process that will need a lot of time is going to be cutting, exporting and naming the many short audio files.
I'm not a great fan of showing a complete long sentence on the screen. I believe the user is always inclined to read faster than to listen. So he starts to skip every audio file.
But anyway thank you for the answer!

Honestly I doubt you will prevent text skipping by making the sentences shorter or showing half a sentence. Most will still read quicker and skip to the next half sentence without really listening to the audio. 

I typically tend to listen to the voice overs the first time I play a game, but only if the voice over quality/acting is good & they don't talk for minutes at a time - otherwise I get bored & start skim reading & skipping.

The thing is you could actually prevent people if you really really really wanted to from skipping the text, but most people would likely not appreciate that very much.
