Unskippable images for a short animation

[Galebourn]

I'm working on a VN right now and I made a short animation with single background images indicate the change between days in the story.
It's pretty basic and looks like this:

Code: Select all

    show bg day1
    with Dissolve(1.0)
    pause 1.0    
    show bg day1b
    with Dissolve(1.0)
    show bg day0
    with Dissolve(1.0)
    show bg day2b
    with Dissolve(1.0)
    show bg day2
    with Dissolve(1.0)
    show bg kitchen

The problem is that many test readers (including myself) skip the entire animation by one single click.
I'm looking for a way to make this short animation unskippable, but $ config.skipping = False didn't work.
There must be a way to do this, but I started using Ren'Py 3 days ago and I'm not that familiar with Python.
However, I checked the cookbook first and couldn't find anything like that.

I'm glad for any help I can get.

Not allowing people to skip during an animation is normally done with a hard pause. Here is a thread that talks about it:

EDIT: Gah! Split second ninja'd!

Whenever I'm setting up animations I don't want to be skipped, I use this right after the animation:

$ renpy.pause(2.0, hard=True)

"hard" means that clicks don't stop the pause. There is probably better ways out there to do this, but it works for me.

BTW, pause with seconds is a transition (equals to 'with Pause(seconds)'. I wrote 'pause' is 'renpy.pause' in the past in this forum, but it's a mistake). If you skip transitions, pause will be also skipped. ren'py.pause is a real stop function. If you want to add a stopping skip point between transitions, use renpy.pause(0). 0 is no time so it usually do nothing, but it works to execute/stop some functions.

Thank you guys very much, this worked like a charm.
