Timing commands withing the action statement?

[Bartulisica]

Hey,

I wonder if it is possible in ren'py to make multiple things within action statement, but not instantly.
For example, when I hit "A" i want to change the picture of item, wait for 1 sec and hide the item completely.
Can that be done?

I'm not sure what you really want, but how about putting them inside a function/label that you can call whenever you need them?

Can that be done?

Definitely:

Code: Select all

screen capture:
    
    if atime > 0:
        add im #image
        
    key "K_a" action [SetVariable('im', '#f00'), SetVariable('atime', 1)]
    
    if atime > 0:
        timer 1 repeat True action If('atime' > 0, true=SetVariable('atime', atime-1), false=NullAction())
            

label start:

    $im = "#fff"
    $atime = 0
    show screen capture
    
    "Press 'A' to change"

I don't know if that's how you're looking to do it, but it is very easily possible to do in many ways.

Interesting, thanks this never crossed my mind. I made it with switching to label and then back to screen. It works now, only the script is a bit messy, but I'll keep your way in mind for next time
