  • I have an issue with the typewriter text. For some reason, half of the time it works fine, but during this scene, occasionally, it'll restart or just go invisible all together. I feel I've really bloated the eventsheet trying to fix it, but nothing has worked.

    The events that happen after work perfect fine, it's just that the text glitches and restarts, and sometimes it literally just goes invisible!

    If anyone has any help I'd appreciate it ❤️

    (Yes ik i've bloated it so badly 😭)

  • It's probably all those "trigger once" conditions, you are using them wrong. Remove them and use Timer behavior when you need to schedule something.

    Also, your event #18 runs on every tick, and you have "Wait 1.5" in it, which means that everything else in this event will run many times with a 1.5s delay. And will continue running for 1.5s even after the "doorknob" sound stops playing. Don't use "wait" in non-triggered events.

    The whole thing can be done in the same event where you play the sound: 

    Audio play doorknob sound
Wait 1.5s
Dialogue set visible
Dialogue typewriter text ....
Wait 2.5s
Dialogue typewriter another text ....

  • Thank you so much! That makes perfect sense. I'll try that :)
