Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is only one text Layer that tracks a character's head, which is the Bubble Layer and it's very elaborate: it has lerped motion to target, wobble and a tail.
I can use the tail, and it's easy to disable wobble by setting Wobble parameters to 0, but I can't completely get rid of the initial move. I'm working on an old school game and I want to start simple before I start adding fancy effects.
I set Behaviour Distance and Behaviour Direction to zero, but there is still some motion.
Looking at res://addons/dialogic/Modules/DefaultLayoutParts/Layer_Textbubble/text_bubble.gd > _process, the motion uses:
var direction := (base_direction + edge_influence).normalized()
var p: Vector2 = base_position + direction * (
safe_zone + lerp(bubble_rect.size.y, bubble_rect.size.x, abs(direction.x)) *0.4
)
where base_direction seems normalized anyway, and edge_influence is not zero either, so there is no way to really set it to 0.
The only way I found was to change code to force set p = base_position
Not the bubble doesn't move anymore on display, but I also lost the tail completely.
Describe the solution you'd like
A parameter to set to 0 or uncheck, to completely disable bubble motion.
Describe alternatives you've considered
It could also be a separate layer template, but it would probably be reusing the same .gd script anyway so in both cases there'd need to be parameter-based motion in text_bubble.gd

The best result I got by suppressing motion, lost the tail:

So there could be an option to enable/disable smooth motion to target, as well as a tunable reverse exponential factor to replace 5 (both are useful, since to simulate insta-move we'd need a huge factor which is not elegant).
