Wait For Sprite Activation

Wait For Sprite Activation turns a visible sprite into a story interaction point.

Use Insert > Sprites & FX > Wait For Sprite Activation when the player should click or activate a sprite before the route continues.

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.
Sprite	Sprite asset affected by this node.
Target Slot	Stage slot this node should target or clear.
Next	Node that runs after this node finishes its own work.

When the node runs, VNC clears active dialog, shows the prompt Activate the sprite to continue., and waits for a matching sprite activation.

The target sprite must already be visible, and Interactable should be turned on for its Sprite Enter or Sprite Update node.

Step	Node
Hide dialog if needed	Use UI Visibility with Dialog Visible set to Hide and Sprites Visible set to Show, then set Next to the next node in your route.
Show the sprite	Use Sprite Enter with Sprite `narrator`, Slot `center`, and Interactable turned on.
Wait for activation	Wait For Sprite Activation with Sprite `narrator`, Target Slot `center`, Set Next to the next node in your route.
Resume the scene	Use UI Visibility with Dialog Visible set to Show, then set Next to the next node in your route.

This node is useful for simple point-and-click moments. Keep the target visually obvious so the player knows what to activate.
