So I came upon a curious thing when creating a basic dialogue event. For some reason, a UI box opens before the dialogue box. So there are 2 UI boxes stacked on each other, one of them blank and the other with dialogue.

Here's the source of the event:

%YAML 1.1

Any ideas? It only started happening after I checked "Block Player Control."

Natnie

Can confirm that the problem goes away if I turn off Block Player Control in the event settings. Also returns if I add a Block Player Control node. The first box remains onscreen if I do not clear the block steps so it's definitely something to do with the Block Player Control action.

Is this a glitch?

It might be some HUD that's shown when the player control is blocked.
Check your HUDs' display conditions.

Natnie

Thanks, you were right. The Default HUD was showing up - I am not sure why though. I have made it hidden now.
