The problem

Describe the bug
Attempted to experiment with the Textbubble style, but even at its most basic settings, it does not appear, no matter what I do.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create a new timeline and character.
  2. Create a new (default) premade Textbubble style.
  3. Add one or more Text commands.
  4. Play the timeline using the button in the Dialogic extension or run a start_timeline() command.
  5. Observe that no bubble appears.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10
  • Godot Version: 4.4 (also checked 4.3)
  • Dialogic Version: 2.0-Alpha-16

Thoughts

EDIT: Originally I wrote down a theory of my own as to what was going wrong, but then I downgraded to Alpha15. This not only fixed my issue, it also completely invalidated my theory - so I'm removing it for clarity.

Don't know why GitHub opened this twice. Either way, downgrading to Alpha15 fixed the issue.

Couple of notes:

  • Use start() instead of start_timeline() if you want a style to be added
  • you need to register characters to nodes that the bubble points at

But I will test this again and see whether it is actually broken.

As this is my first time playing around with the bubble, I did not know about the instructions in the fallback bubble. After downgrading, I was made aware of registering characters. If so, maybe the issue should be "fallback bubble does not appear in Alpha16"
