Hello, I want to implement a limited amount of time for my characters to interact. For example, my two characters will have a conversation during lunch and when the time runs out it will jump into a scene like "Oh. Class is starting. We should head back." Stopping their conversation, making you miss important details the character has to say if you take too long to read. How can I make that timer?
Thanks!

Re: Timed Conversations
That is a horrible story mechanic...
What about people who get a phone call part way through?
What about people using text-to-speech slowly?
What about people who just want to enjoy the story casually?
You are basically saying your players must do things your way or ruin the game...

Nope, I just want to put time on my VN and I'll only put it on a certain part of the game which is lunch time, not the whole game. Plus, I'd notify them first that lunch has a certain time limitRemix wrote: ↑Thu Jul 16, 2020 6:39 am That is a horrible story mechanic...
