Make GUI Invisible before Displaying Message via Character.Say

[Dualnames]

Just a question mostly..but anyways.

I have this code:

It's a custom function I use to display messages with the narrator character
.

Code: ags

function NarratorSay(string msg) {
SetSpeechStyle(eSierra);
//various variables being set//
gHotspot.Transparency=100;
cNa.Say(msg);
SetSpeechStyle(eLucasArts);
}

If I comment it, the GUI gets invisible (no wonder).

Code: ags

function NarratorSay(string msg) {
SetSpeechStyle(eSierra);
//various variables being set//
gHotspot.Transparency=100;
//cNa.Say(msg);
SetSpeechStyle(eLucasArts);
}

Thing is I tried using Wait(1);, but nothing. Any ideas?

Instead of setting the transparency to 100, try setting .Visible to false.
It shouldn't make a difference, but who knows?

It does, I handle Transparency property via Tween module, so it has to be transparency...tha'ts the point. Forgot saying that.

I meant it shouldn't make a difference in terms of properly hiding the GUI before the .Say command.
Have you at least tried it?
Because if it does work (and thus break the tween stuff), you could use

Code: ags

  gHotspot.Transparency = 100;
  gHotspot.Visible = false;
  cNa.Say(msg);
  gHotspot.Visible = true;

in order to not break the tween stuff.

Nevertheless, setting the transparency to 100 should suffice.
Is it possible the tween module interferes with the command?
Maybe there's a way of instantly setting the transparency to 100 using the tween module, so it doesn't interfere any longer (assuming it is the cause of the original problem).

I tried it and it works but not quite..
I want it now to be set invisible before running a process click command..tried transparency wait and visible but not a clue..
