I want to call yield in a function, but have that yield in another function

Question

func _speak(dialogue):
    Interaction.say_dialogue(dialogue)
    yield(Interaction, "interaction_completed")

func handle_interaction() -> void:
    _speak("hello 1")
    _speak("hello 2")

Calling yield in the first call of _speak() doesn't wait until the interaction is being completed. Is there a sophisticated way to solve this issue with signals?

The problem is mostly about code design.

func handle_interaction() -> void:
        Interaction.say_dialogue("hello 1")
        yield(Interaction, "interaction_completed")
        Interaction.say_dialogue("hello 2")
        yield(Interaction, "interaction_completed")

This looks like ugly code, specially if I have many things that a character says. Can this be solved with yield or should I go with the good old is_finished checks?

Hi,
have a look here how the data is structured ...

Not really useful for me, but thanks for the effort.
