Change of scenery with no dialogue

[cracklings]

I'm very new to using Ren'py and making games in general, so everything I'm doing is pretty basic so far. Just to give you a background.

I have a problem with transition the story. One part of the story goes from from bedroom (with dialogue) -> nighttime (no dialogue) -> daytime (no dialogue) -> classroom (with dialogue)

For the nighttime to daytime transitions, this is the code I use:

Code: Select all

    scene bg nighttime
    with Dissolve (5)

    pause 5
    
    scene bg daytime
    with Dissolve (5)

    pause .5

Naturally, when you play the game, you click and click and click. When the nighttime image comes out, the first instinct is to click. When I click, it skips the daytime image and goes straight to the next scene (classroom). I think it has something to do with the dissolve or the pause, but after several attempts to play around with this by changing numbers or removing them, I can't seem to get it right.

Is there any way for me to make the nighttime image to jump automatically to the the daytime image after clicking and not jump to the next scene (classroom)? Like a slideshow where you move to the next image by clicking.

I don't usually have a problem with this code, but all my other scenes has some kind of dialogue in them. The nighttime to daytime backgrounds have no dialogue whatsoever.

try using renpy.pause() instead. It seems to have different behavior.

Code: Select all

$ renpy.pause(5)

Works great! Thanks.
