Timed button :D

[Lyedka]

Hello!!

wanted to know if you can add a time limit for the buttons. I know it can with the menus, but, can you add in the buttons? and if can you hide a button and after a while show again? (example: spend 5 seconds and appears a button)

Thanks for your time! and sorry for my bad English

You want the timer object, which is documented here: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/screens.html#timer

So you make a screen.
Put your button on that screen.
Put a timer on that screen that hides the screen after so many seconds.

If you want to hide after so many seconds and then show after so many seconds, I'd make two screens. One with the button, and one with the timer. Every five seconds the timer can check to see if the Button screen is visible, if it is hide the screen, if it isn't show the screen.

Though if you just want the button to "pulse" visible/not visible, you could just put a transform on the button that changes the alpha from 0 to 1 and back again.

thank you very much

Another question, How could implement a system of adding points every 4 hours? (without the need for the game is in progress)

Well the game can't do anything if it isn't running. Instead what I would recommend is having a persistent variable that makes a note of what time it is when you close the game, and when you load a game it checks the current time against the saved time and then gives you the points based on how much time has passed.

The clock cookbook in my signature has a realtime clock mode that you could look at and steal inspiration from.
