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!
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
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
NARR
Click to continue.
INT. REGULAR BACKGROUND
@speechbubble reset
NARR
Bla bla bla, done reading those texts.
That worked perfectly thank you!
