How should I custom animation for choices

[HakkerBarry]

Hi folks,

I'm trying to scale the textbox and make the portrait grey when the choices menu is showing up. After player make a decision, the textbox should scale back.

Put those transition in a animation seem like the eaiest way. I want find a way to play the animation. It seems like the menu shows in the text event and the choice event start to execute after pick the choose. Is there any singal emit when the choice menu shows up and disappear?

Hey @HakkerBarry.

I assume you already are making a custom layout, if not, that is definitely needed for customization like this.

An animation player could certainly work for this. Tweens are another popular option for animating UI.

Here is a couple of useful signals to react to:

• Dialogic.Text.animation_textbox_show
• Dialogic.Text.animation_textbox_hide
• Dialogic.Choices.choices_shown (info:Dictionary)
• Dialogic.Choices.choice_selected (info:Dictionary)

These should be enough to activate all your animations I think.

Good luck!
