Speeding up auto read [Solved]

[Strum]

Hi, is there a way to speed up the auto read function? Here is the code I use....

init:
if not persistent.set_afm_time:
$ persistent.set_afm_time = True
$ _preferences.afm_time = 10

trouble with this is, its too slow moving on to the next bit of text (and no, I'm not a fast reader either) I tried changing the afm time to 1 then to 41 and it seems to make no difference what number I put in there. Your thoughts on this please.

Note that with this code, it will only set the setting the first time you run (unless you clear persistent).

Hmm, not exactly what I have in mind, I got it to work but can't turn it off until I delete the persistant data. Can anyone tell me how to call up the auto read function so that you can read the visual novel in "hands free mode" until the mouse or keyboard is pressed? The code I posted was the only one I could find on the reference manual that came with ren'py

You can also change it in the preference menu under "Auto-Forward Time" option.

You can try something like this:

Code: Select all

init python:
    def set_atf():
        ui.vbox(xalign=1.0)
        ui.textbutton("set", ui.callsinnewcontext("set_auto_read"))
        ui.textbutton("cancel", ui.callsinnewcontext("cancel_auto_read"))
        ui.close()
    config.overlay_functions.append(set_atf)



label start:
    $ _preferences.text_cps=70
    
    "This is line 2."
    "This is line 3"
    "This is line 4."
    "This is line 5"
    
    jump start



label set_auto_read:
    $ ui.vbox(xalign=.5)
    $ ui.textbutton("Speedy", ui.returns(3))
    $ ui.textbutton("Normal", ui.returns(10))
    $ ui.textbutton("Slow", ui.returns(20))
    $ ui.close()
    
    $ num=ui.interact()
    $ _preferences.afm_time = num
    "This is the speed of auto-forward."
    "Is this okay?"
    
    $ ui.vbox(xalign=.5)
    $ ui.textbutton("Yes", ui.returns(-1))
    $ ui.textbutton("No", ui.jumps("set_auto_read"))
    $ ui.close()
    $ ui.interact()
    return
    
label cancel_auto_read:
    $ _preferences.afm_time =0
    return

Thanks for the code, I got the auto read button to work now. However, is there a way to putting the _preferences.text_cps command into an imagemap? I want an imagemap menu to handle the text speed settings using only 3 settings, slow, fast, and instant. Thanks for your help so far.

Edit: Nevermind, it seems I had the correct code all along. Stupid syntax errors....
