  Something I forgot to mention: I'm running all audio in the background, so as to not require any additional clicks from the player and to let them carry on with things while speech and subtitles play.

  The long/short/long effect you're getting is actually as intended: playing a new line of speech won't "kill" any existing, so that if you have Duplicate for multiple lines? checked in your Subtitles menu, you can actually have multiple lines display at once.
  
  If you want to end all speech before a new one plays, you can use the Dialogue: Stop speech Action before starting the new one.
  
  As for the clicking speech issue, that's by design.  I'm undecided about whether that should change in AC / be an option, but removing this effect should be a simple matter of opening Speech.cs, and commenting out line 482:
  
  KickStarter.playerInput.ResetMouseClick ();
  
  That line of code essentially tells AC that the mouse click has been "used" to skip speech and can't be used for anything else.

  Ooh, okay that makes sense from a design point of view. It does actually kill the speech component of the dialogue, though (if it's set up to automatically play audio files), and that audio component doesn't return.

  
  

  Thanks for the hack for the clicking issue. I'll definitely implement that and make a note of it so as to not lose that option with future updates.

  
  

  
  

  Edit: It's line 517 that needs to be commented out. Doing this actually solves both of my problems in one go, as both speech and subtitles are now killed when clicking on a new hotspot.

  
  

  Thanks Chris!

  Maybe it's my fault, but now this method to use a single click for stop speech and activate a hotspot seems don't works... There's other things to do?

  Thank you.

  @Ommariuolo: The ResetMouseClick() function is now called 4 times within that script - which one are you commenting out?  Try commenting out the others - the code's changed a little but the principle should be the same.

  @Ommariuolo, I'm using a slightly outdated version (1.51g), but I commented out line 566 to achieve my desired result.

  @ChrisIceBox: I've commented out rows 526, 531, 541 and 577.

  
  

  @GeometriX: in my code, row 566 is: EndMessage (true);

  @Ommariuolo: Try placing a Debug.Log statement inside the ResetMouseClick() function in PlayerInput.cs - you can then read off the Console the line number from which it's called when you click it at the appropriate time.

  @ChrisIceBox: row 541. But I've solved my problem using a menu element displaying text, instead of dialogue. Now it's all ok.

  Hey gang, I know this is an old thread but I thought I'd pop back in here with an update for those still interested in putting this concept to use. As of AC 1.54c, you need to comment out line 586 to enable the "quick click-through of subtitle text".
