Question: How to stop the text a few seconds

#1 Post by Bombermans »

Well...I'm spanish so sorry for my bad english. ^^U
My question is this:

Is there any way of stopping the text a few seconds, without having to click?
Something like that:

n " I am... {INTERRUPT FOR 3 SECONDS} crazy "



This is the spanish text.I used an online translator for the english text:

¿Hay alguna manera de parar el texto unos segundos, sin tener que hacer click?
Algo así:

n 'I am...{PAUSE FOR 3 SECONDS} crazy'

Forgive the inconveniences. Thanks!

The only way would be to use something like:

Code: Select all

$ n("I am...", interact=False)
$ renpy.pause(3.0)
n "I am... {fast}Crazy!"
I'll look at making this easier in a future release.

English text:

Thank you very much you both. ^^

I tried your code, PyTom, it works, but it is not as I was waiting, two texts appear, and can skip the text.-_-
I have used it both in NVL mode and in Normal mode. The same happens exactly...
Well...I will have to wait to the new version...

mokenju1, although I do not believe that I need: might you to give me the link about which you spoke?

Spanish text:

Muchas gracias a los dos.^^

Probé tu cógido, PyTom, me funciona, pero no es como yo esperaba, se muestran dos textos, y sí que puedo skip el texto.-_-
Lo he probado tanto en NVL mode como en Normal mode.Pasa exactamente lo mismo...
Bueno, tendré que esperar a la nueva versión...

mokenju1, aunque no creo que me haga falta, ¿podrías darme el link del que hablaste?

I don't remember if this is in 6.2 or the (unreleased) 6.3, but you can now write:

"The first part of the text. {w=2}Two seconds later."
