QTE (Quick Time Event)

[TyranX]

My question would be how would I implement a sort of QTE event using Renpy? I'd like to find a way that would accept as an input a certain specific button press within the event.

Example: QTE activates for 5 seconds, user needs to press 'A' within that time, if successful event plays, if not, other event plays.

If specific buttons are not possible for input, how would I do QTE using choices?
Example: QTE activates, user needs to choose a choice before time runs out and choices disappear.

Use screens.

Code: Select all

screen timeout_event:
    key "a" action Jump("pressed_a")
    timer 5.0 action Jump("timed_out")

call screen timeout_event

Thank you for that piece of code, I've leaned how to implement it but there is an issue now.

How do I get the the screens to become their own entities since I have multiple of these throughout my entire script. In case I'm wording this wrong heres the problem.
Whenever I go through the very first screen event, it will only accept the very last screen results inputs and proceed to use those jump coordinates.

Call/Run screen 1 -> Only accepts screen 6's 'correct' input -> jumps to screen 6's pass/fail labels.

And while I'm on the topic, If I wanted text to show during the event (Ex:"Press 'a'!"), at which part of the code would I place it?


EDIT:
I realize what might be my problem >_< I should of checked it out before I posted this, let me go try it first.

Ok, Ive fixed my previous mistake. It seems that I had left all the screen names the same thinking that timeout_event was a renpy keyword. (Thats what I get for using notepad D:) I fixed that and gave them their own appropriate names, eliminating my problem.

But additionally, I still need to know, How do I get text to display in center or any other position on screen, DURING the timeout screen event?

Have you considered putting your text inside a frame and making the frame transparent? then you could put the frame wherever you want and it would be the same thing. Or you could make the frame in some color or put a background in it, Your choice.
