How to prevent text from advancing (blank) during transitions?

[Gachapen]

Right now my text is going blank as soon as a transition is started, I assume because it is queuing the next line, then it displays the next line as soon as the transition is over. How can I stop from text from advancing to next line until the transition is done, eliminating a blank text box?

Example:

"Hello"

show npc1 with Dissolve (2)

(text box goes blank for 2 seconds during transitions)

"Next line" (displays after transition is complete.

You can use transition that does not affect dialogue:
Dict Transitions

Code: Select all

define dis = { "master" : Dissolve(2.0) }

label start:
    "Hello"
    show npc1 with dis
    "Next line"

Thank you for responding. That does achieve the effect of skipping the blank text. However it instantly skips to the next text line. It is better than the alternative, but I would like for it to keep the first string displayed, then update to next string as soon as transition is done.

One option is to use extend:

Code: Select all

define dis = { "master" : Dissolve(2.0) }

label start:
    "Hello"
    show npc1 with dis
    extend "{w=2.0}{nw}"
    "Next line"
