I ran some more tests about Read() (auto read is false, super text mesh is disabled at the beginning):
public IEnumerator TestCode1()
{
superTextMesh.gameObject.SetActive(true);
superTextMesh.Read();
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //true
yield return null;
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //false(Read() is blocked there)
yield return null;
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //false
}
public IEnumerator TestCode2()
{
superTextMesh.gameObject.SetActive(true);
yield return null;
superTextMesh.Read();
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //true
yield return null;
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //false(Read() is blocked there)
yield return null;
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading);//false
}
public IEnumerator TestCode3() //Read() works in this case
{
superTextMesh.gameObject.SetActive(true);
yield return null;
yield return null;
superTextMesh.Read();
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //true
yield return null;
Debug.Log(superTextMesh.reading); //true(Read() keep working later)
}
I needed to wait at least two frames after super text mesh was activated to execute Read(), otherwise the code would not work.
Here is another test about auto Read. Auto read works normal, but sometimes I need to set the start position.here is a test about currentReadTime(set Remember Read Position to true or false will get same result)
public IEnumerator TestCode4()
{
superTextMesh.gameObject.SetActive(true);
superTextMesh.currentReadTime = 10;// not work, Read position not change
}
public IEnumerator TestCode5()
{
superTextMesh.gameObject.SetActive(true);
yield return null;
//superTextMesh.currentReadTime = 20;// it works, read Position change to 20
}
set currentReadTime immediately after gameobject set active will not change the read position. The same problem happens on SkipToEnd() too.
In SuperTextMesh.cs, please comment out line 1672! So... please turn this...
}else{
StopReadRoutine();
//Debug.Log("Not autoreading");
SetMesh(0f); //show nothing
}
into this
}else{
//StopReadRoutine();
//Debug.Log("Not autoreading");
SetMesh(0f); //show nothing
}
I think my original intent with this code was... If STM has a read delay > 0, but is not set to autoread, stop the read coroutine and set the mesh to be empty. But this stop coroutine call would halt a manual Read() too. I think removing this line should work, so please let me know if it works for you!
Sorry, but it still doesn't work. I still need wait 2 frame after super text mesh activates to use Read(), otherwise, when I use Read() the entire text will show immediately without reading process.
And if I set auto read to true, skip to end and currentReadTime will still not work if super text mesh is just active. (I need use yield return null to wait one frame after super text mesh is active).
There are the setting of stm and the code I used for my tests, maybe this information will be useful to you.
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine;
public class Test : MonoBehaviour
{
public SuperTextMesh superTextMesh;
private void Awake()
{
superTextMesh.gameObject.SetActive(false);//the superTextMesh is hide when game is start.
superTextMesh.readDelay = 0.01f;//read delay >0
superTextMesh.autoRead = false; //auto read set false, I will call auto read later
}
//add it to buttons
public void AddToButton1()
{
StartCoroutine(TestCode1());
} public void AddToButton2()
{
StartCoroutine(TestCode2());
} public void AddToButton3()
{
StartCoroutine(TestCode3());
}
//set stm gameobject active and call read immediately.
