renpy.pause shows say screen [SOLVED]

#1 Post by sonejo »

Hello!
I'm wondering, it is a normal behaviour, than renpy.pause shows the say screen (with no text) during the pause? :?:
If yes, how can I disable it?
I'd like to have a normal pause, just a pause of x seconds without showing anything.

Or is that a bug? (As far as I can remember, it was not the case in earlier versions).

Thank you in advance

Vince

alternatively :

Code: Select all

define na = Character(None, window_background = None)
label start:
    "Just when I nearly reached the gate, I realized that someone was walking behind me"
    show eileen
    na "{w=3}{nw}"
    "...eileen?"
    return

It's actually "window hide", not "hide window".

Problem solved, thank you!

What about to put this really useful information in the doc? :)

All the best
