Hello! We are creating the opening sequence of a game. The goal is for an animation to play the first time you hit a button, for a second animation to play the second time you hit the button, and then for a speech bubble to pop up the third time you press the button.
Our main script looks like this:
extends Node2D
var event_trigger = 0
var Opening_Sequence_Finished = false
func _process(_delta):
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_select"):
if event_trigger == 0:
$AnimationPlayer.play("Shaky_Scissors")
if event_trigger == 1:
$AnimationPlayer.play("Shaky_02")
if event_trigger == 2:
$Speech_Bubble.visible = true
event_trigger += 1
print($AnimationPlayer.current_animation, event_trigger)
func shake():
Shake.shake(10,3)
func shake2():
Shake.shake(15,4)
Then our speech bubble script looks like this (we followed a YouTube tutorial for this one):
extends TextureRect
#How to Make a Dialog Box System in Godot in 6 minutes by Afely
export var dialogPath = ""
export(float) var textSpeed = 0.05
var dialog
var phraseNum = 0
var finished = false
func _ready():
$Timer.wait_time = textSpeed
dialog = getDialog()
assert(dialog, "Dialog not found")
nextPhrase()
func _process(_delta):
$Indicator.visible = finished
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):
if finished:
nextPhrase()
else:
$Text.visible_characters = len($Text.text)
func getDialog() -> Array:
var f = File.new()
assert(f.file_exists(dialogPath), "File path does not exist")
f.open(dialogPath, File.READ)
var json = f.get_as_text()
var output = parse_json(json)
if typeof(output) == TYPE_ARRAY:
return output
else:
return []
func nextPhrase() -> void:
if phraseNum >= len(dialog):
queue_free()
return
finished = false
#$Name.bbcode_text = dialog[phraseNum]["Name"]
$Text.bbcode_text = dialog[phraseNum]["Text"]
$Text.visible_characters = 0
#var f = File.new()
#var img = dialog[phraseNum]["Name"] + dialog[phraseNum]["Emotion"] + ".png"
#if f.file_exists(img):
#$Portrait.texture = load(img)
#else: $Portrait.texture = null
while $Text.visible_characters < len($Text.text):
$Text.visible_characters += 1
$Timer.start()
yield($Timer, "timeout")
finished = true
phraseNum += 1
return
The problem is that the speech bubble is running even when it’s set to invisible. Currently we’re putting in three lines of dialogue we don’t care if people see, but obviously that’s messy and less-than-ideal. How do you ACTUALLY make it so that the $Speech_Bubble stuff doesn’t start until event_trigger == 2?
