#1 Post by mitoky »

Hello!

I was wondering if anyone could explain to me what exactly the diffrence between

I have read in the docs but i dont quiet grasp it yet.


Sorry for the trouble and thank you for the help!

  • Pause(): is not a pause like other two. It is a Transition: an effect applied to scene change. This one just shows new screen for some time. Not terribly useful by itself, but can be handi in case of sequencing several scene changes in a row.
  • pause: can be used directly in RenPy script. Easy to use.
  • renpy.pause(): a Python function. can be used where pause cannot and cannot be used where pause can. Allows for some additional functionality like hard pauses

It does according to the documentation

Oh, thanks. I didn't remember it and documentation search did not show it. Will amend post in a minute.
