Dialogues go too fast

[Glenjamin]

How can I make it so character say events and dialogues only progress when the mouse is clicked?

Thanks in advance everyone.

You can set how speech (and dialog lines) are skipped in your game's General Settings -> Dialog -> Speed Skipped by...

You can also change the text speed by altering Game.TextReadingSpeed, and finally there is Game.MinimumTextDisplayTimeMs to make sure that even very short words stay on screen for a fixed amount of time. The manual has info all these, but these settings make stuff very easy to read and follow.
Game.TextReadingSpeed = 7;
Game.MinimumTextDisplayTimeMs = 2000;

Oh, hello Ghost! Long time!

This really needs to be a setting you could change from the.cfg file. With tears in my eyes, I've been forced to abandon TENS of games because I just don't manage to read half of their dialogues.   I really would want to play them, but it's impossible, until someone does something to this huge accessibility problem. It just can't be that playing adventures is a priviledge of native english speakers who read fast.

There are two different situations here:
- when someone is making a game
- when the game is already released.

In the first case a game developer can implement the text skipping as a in-game setting. There's no problem here, except for developer's willingness to do so.
In the second case this would require a change in the engine to support extra config option(s) that would override the game.

BTW there's already a thread about this that you opened:

Second one is the only way to play those "tens of games" I mentioned, so I guess I'm just out of luck. Oh well. Have to play soemthing else then, unless someone makes those changes in the engine.
