Plugins + Scripts BubbleControl

BubbleControl is a person plugin, which can be used to tweak the behavior of the VAM's built-in Speech and Thought bubbles.

The first version supports the following tweaks:

• Resize the bubbles.
• Restrict bubble sizes to prevent them from getting to small and unreadable when far away. Or too huge when close.
• Restrict bubble positions so they always appear on-screen, on its edge closest towards the speaking/thinking person.

All these features work fine in VR. The default position restriction in VR is configured so that the bubbles stay in your peripheral vision. Unlike on desktop they are not really readable, but you will know where to turn your head to read them. You can change the settings to move them more in front even in VR, but it can be quite distracting.

Just by adding the plugin to a person, some of the settings are enabled by default:

• Distance scaling limits are enabled. The bubble won't scale up when closer than 0.5m, and won't scale down when farther away than 3m.
• Position restriction is on, both on desktop and VR.
