[SOLVED] Quotation mark flash?

[Offworlder]

This is a very small issue, but one that's been bugging me.
Essentially, I want the last line of dialogue to stay on-screen when choices appear following a click. Currently, I'm accomplishing this by repeating the dialogue after "menu:" and using the "{fast}" tag. Like so:

Code: Select all

show neth ssheepish with dissolve
n ".{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}I know that doesn't mean much to some."

menu:
    n ".{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}I know that doesn't mean much to some.{fast}"

    "I want to help, but...":
        jump whatswrong

This code basically works fine, but the end quotation mark in the dialogue disappears for a split second when the choice shows up.
To clarify, "n" is defined to have quotation marks in their dialogue by default.

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!

Is there a compelling reason you want players to click to make the choice menu appear?

It's specifically because I want the choice(s) to appear AFTER the dialogue, rather than at the same time.
I ended up figuring out my own mistake, though. xD

The issue doesn't appear if I use manual quotation marks, but I had the "{fast}" tag in the wrong position.
Here's the correct syntax:

Code: Select all

show neth ssheepish with dissolve
n2 "\".{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}I know that doesn't mean much to some.\""

menu:
    n2 "\".{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}I know that doesn't mean much to some.\"{fast}"

    "I want to help, but...":
        jump whatswrong

Initially, I had my "{fast}" tag positioned directly at the end of the sentence, before the backslash.
Also, I did a bit of testing and the manual quotes technically only need to be placed on the second sentence. If a character is defined to use quotes by default, this structure will work as well:

Code: Select all

n ".{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}I know that doesn't mean much to some."

menu:
    n2 "\".{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}.{w=0.2}I know that doesn't mean much to some.\"{fast}"

    "I want to help, but...":
        jump whatswrong
