Question On Screen Changes

Hey, so I am using backgrounds for my text messages and I just wanted to know if there’s a way to have the reader be able to click the screen to read the next message…if that makes sense. Please help! :pleading_face:

You can do this by setting the speechbubble to 0% so when the reader taps it proceeds

do you mean

theres a new way how to do text message

INT. CELLPHONE - DAY

set format phonetext

    NARRATOR
*UNKNOWN* I can't stop thinking about.....YOU.

    STARR (idle)
You signed off! And now you wanna say that you can't stop thinking about me!

    NARRATOR
*UNKNOWN* Look I know I was a dick head.

    STARR (idle)
Ha, you got that right.

    NARRATOR
*UNKNOWN* Just give me a chance.

    STARR (idle)
Give you a chance!? Ha, I'm not doing shit for you.

    STARR (idle)
Why should I and you won't even let me see your face.

    NARRATOR
*UNKNOWN* I....can't.....

    STARR (idle)
So you get to stock the living shit out of me, but I can't see you?

    STARR (idle)
Thats bull shit, I'm going to find you and see who you really are.

    NARRATOR
*UNKNOWN* Wait Sweet-.

    STARR (idle)
No, you call me Starr and I will do whatever it takes to find you.

set format cinematic

DONT COPY

THis is an example of the text messages how to use them

No, I made individual text messages for each background like this :thinking:

omg i saw that lol i tried doign that but honey, i think u should use this way

set format phonetext its better like that so you wont have to keep saving it

set format cinematic (is where it goes back to text)

I do not think so since its a background

the only thing i can think of is tappable overlyas but then again you’ll have to upload your backgrounds as overlays…AND i think tappable overlays are still in testing so i dont think everyone has it (but i maybe wrong about it still being tested)

but if you decide to do that check out how tappable works

or here are other ways

Ok for ur case, do this:

Example below, the reader just taps the screen to continue:

INT. ONE TEXT MESSAGE

@zoom reset

@speechbubble is 166 258 to 0% with tail_top_left

NARR
Click to continue.

INT. TWO TEXT MESSAGES

NARR
Click to continue.

INT. THREE TEXT MESSAGES

NARR
Click to continue.

INT. FOUR TEXT MESSAGES
