Toggle Voice Acting?

  • #1, by ygmantellTuesday, 25. July 2017, 17:30 7 years ago
    Is there a way to toggle the voice acting on and off in game?
    Like in a menu, or (for easy development) assigned to a Key Action?
    I assume this would be done with a simple script, but I'm inept when it comes to scripting smile

    Thanks so much!

    Have you looked through the action parts? There's one that let's you set text only, voice only or both text & voice.

    Just rig up a value or condition & create an if query... something along the lines of...

    if condition "voice_enabled" is true
     set text and voice output: only text output
     change condition "voice_enabled" to false
    else
     set text and voice output: text and speech output
     change condition "voice_enabled" to true
    end if

    Though alternatively you can use Lua script if you prefer.

    Haha, wow, okay, I did not see that... sorry!

    But when I set it up like you said, it still doesnt work

    I also added an action at game start to change it to text only, and change the condition to false, so when the player presses V it will toggle the voices.

    But when I play the game, I still hear the voices (in game, of course razz ) and the V key isn't doing anything.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    EDIT:  Started a new game and it works perfectly... Thanks so much!

    No problem. You could have also used Lua script to sort it out like so too...

    execute a script action part >
    if game.TextOutput == eTextAndSpeechOutput then
 game.TextOutput = eOnlyTextOutput
else
 game.TextOutput = eTextAndSpeechOutput
end
