Wait Actions when typing

You can perform actions once the typewriter reaches a specific position in the text. (For this reason, actions work only if the typewriter is enabled)

Example: waiting for X seconds or waiting for the player input.

How to add actions in your text

You can add actions to your text by using rich text tags.

Actions’ formatting follows this formula: “<actionID>” or “<actionID=attribute1,attribute2,...>” for eventual parameters/attributes (just like events/messages).

Actions tags are case insensitive, <waitfor> and <waitFor> will produce the same results.

Parameters

Actions support multiple parameters, after the ‘=’ sign and all separated by a comma.

Example: <waitfor=1.5> or <playaudio=tada,laugh,dub>

• ⚠️ Floating point numbers must use a period, not a comma.

  • ✔️ <speed=0.5>

  • ❌ <speed=0,5>

Databases

As with Effects, you’ll find Actions stored inside their databases. You can add and remove as many as you prefer, create specific ones and also program your own via C#.
