UI Visibility

UI Visibility controls whether the dialog UI and sprites are visible.

Use Insert > Scene & UI > UI Visibility when a route needs to hide the interface for a CG, world interaction, roaming moment, or dramatic pause.

Properties

Node-specific properties

Field	What it does
Dialog Visible	Set dialog visibility to true or false, or leave unset to keep the current value.
Sprites Visible	Set sprite visibility to true or false, or leave unset to keep the current value.

Inherited/common properties

Field	What it does
Name	Optional label used in the editor and Story Map. Leave it empty to use VNC's automatic node name.
Next	Node that runs after this node finishes its own work.

Runtime Behavior

When the node runs, VNC updates only the visibility values you set. Leaving a field unset means the current value is preserved.

If both fields are unset, the node has no visible effect and VNC warns that it does not change any surface visibility.

Example Setups

Goal	Setup
Hide dialog for a sprite click	Dialog Visible false, Sprites Visible true, Set Next to the next node in your route.
Restore the route UI	Dialog Visible true, Sprites Visible true, Set Next to the next node in your route.
Leave sprites alone	Set Dialog Visible false and leave Sprites Visible unset when only the dialog box should hide.

Beta surface

UI Visibility is usable, but routes can become confusing if you hide dialog before a Choice, Text Input, or World Wait prompt. Preview the route and play test any interactive moment that depends on hidden UI.

UI Visibility is best used in pairs: hide what you need, then show it again when the special moment ends.
