Checking if there is a speech when gamestate is on cutscene

cemleme

Hello,

I am hiding all the HUD when the game is paused or there is a cutscene.

I check it using this code:

    private void EnterGameState(GameState gameState)
    {
        if (gameState.ToString() == "Paused" || gameState.ToString() == "Cutscene")
        {
            objectToHide.SetActive(false);
        }
        else if(!isHidden)
        {
            objectToHide.SetActive(true);
        }
    }

The problem is I don't want to hide the hud when the cutscene is a speech.

is it possible to check this? before hiding the hud?

Thanks

Can you try with AC.Speech.isAlive or AC.Speech.IsScrolling() ?

sorry I forgot to mention my version.

using v1.71.7

are those variables available on 1.71?

SkyTree

they should be, it's 1.72.0 though

Simply check it in your script.
They both take bools.

AC.KickStarter.dialog.GetLatestSpeech().isAlive seems to work thanks

Always happy to help fellow AC developers when I can

To simply know if any speech at all is playing at a given time, you can read:

AC.KickStarter.dialog.IsAnySpeechPlaying ();
