Disabling the mouse

[Gear]

Code: Select all

Lthinkslow "...{w=1}........{w=1}............."
$ renpy.pause(7, hard=True)
K "Well?!"
L "Would you calm down?!  My phone needs to be rebooted."

I'm having a problem with the hard pause code. In the way it's listed above, it pauses after you click, meaning if the "..." quote goes forward, and THEN the person clicks, they have to wait an additional 7 seconds before the game will advance. I want to simply disable clicking during the "..." line. I can't put the python code on the same line, so what do I do?

Code: Select all

Lthinkslow "...{w=1}........{w=1}.............{w=7}{nw}"
K "Well?!"
L "Would you calm down?!  My phone needs to be rebooted."

{nw}tag forces Ren'py to advance to next line.
If I understood correct, you want all that "......"s to be shown for 7 sec, and after that (or if player clicks) next line should be shown.

The NW tag worked like a charm, thank you, but I didn't see what you were pointing at in the page link.

Mmm... text tags descriptions ({nw}tag is one of them).

Oh. I thought it was in reference to the hard pause.

My problem with the hard pause is that I don't actually want the game to pause for seven seconds, I just want to disable clicking for seven seconds, while the text continues to run.
