Is Yarn buggy or is it me

How do I…

I’m trying to use Yarn. What is wrong with the lines on my screenshot.

What is the expected result

My text should be changed by the Yarn text.

What is the actual result

Nothing happens.

Hi,

Yarn needs Scroll clipped text be initiated at-least once before, and it has to be before the display text, otherwise it wont display anything.

That’s not what’s in the wiki. I’ve created a mini project with exactly the same events as in OP’s screen shot and it works fine.


@Trowaway, can you screen shot Twins.json in the yarn editor? And are there any other events that reference NewText? The best method is to use the GDevelop search to find them.

Thanks, you’re absolutely right! I’m not sure what happened, because I tested it right before posting and it wasn’t working. But now it is, which is really weird. I know this area has been problematic before, and Yarn does have some known bugs, like with colours. Maybe the recent GD update and cache clearing fixed it, but honestly, I’ll probably never know for sure.

@MrMen So i changed my json file because you said maybe it was the problem, the earlier issue is gone, but now there’s another issue, the options won’t go past the first choices, it works great for the first question and it freezes for the second one. I put on youtube what happens now. Thank you.

It may be the “->” in the last event that’s causing the issue. From the GDevelop wiki:

It did not work unfortunately, I moved on and I am now using my own dialogue system, wich is nowhere near as efficient, but works.
