How can I make the "testimony" icon appear during testimony?

Post by Apollo Wright »

Well I have already seen in some cases made by the users in AAO have the testimony icon blinking to indicate that a testimony is in progress. How can I make this icon. I don't know if this has already been posted. But if it was already been posted I'm sorry but I just need to know.

Sorry, but it's not possible at the moment.

Any trials that have it must have used custom witness sprites with the testimony blinker on them.

It's an issue of compositing. The current engine only has support for two user selectable layers, with one additional layer used for effects and another for foregrounds for specific selected backgrounds.

You can put it without problem, but not in the corner it's supposed to be (uper-left corner) as long as you don't have any actions used during any of the statements in the "Witness testimony" Part.
You create an evidence with an icon of the "Testimony" blinking like the one topaz posted.
Then you show the evidence in each statement to make it appear on the upper-right corner.

I see no need usually for actions. If you're planning on having actions then don't use it

If only we had an option to address the effect layer independently. Then we could easily add this.

For this, I thought of an idea...
Henke, if it's possible, could you make the "Witness Testimony" part become a part of the Cross-Examination block?
Due to real life issues, my trial and forum activity will be slow.
Like, insanely slow.
So I apologize for that, and will get back at you ASAP, thanks!

How would henke do that? It's Unas who develops the editor. :)

It has also been suggested before. And so far, Unas has not shown any sign of approving it. If you ask me, the idea is silly.

It was me who suggested it. :P But yes, now that I think about it, it is silly, because testimonies are sometimes different to cross-examinations.

I don't like it neither. It's useless, and can be done by the trial maker itself.

Yeah, I see no reason, you wouldn't be doing anything different. In fact you'd be wasting time, you'd have to click another button :awesome: .
