Hiding the textbox / text window post-transition..

[JustSkyLarkin]

Hello! I've had a search around and can't seem to find the answer to my problem.

I currently have it so the textbox will disappear during a transition. On one particular scene I don't want the textbox appearing again until AFTER the user clicks their mouse. I was looking at "window hide", but I can't seem to get it working.. Can anyone help at all?

You prolly want pause:

Code: Select all

pause

it will plainly pause the game until plays takes some action. Maybe a better option:

Code: Select all

pause 1.5

which will wait for a mouse click or continue the game to the next statement after 1.5 seconds elapse (1.5 is just an example, you should put the duration of your transition there).

More annoying way (for player), is it use hard pause and not allowing player doing anything meaningful for the duration but use of this "extreme" is frowned upon
