Adding pause between 'add images' in screen [solved]

[AsHLeX]

Hello! Thanks for your help in advance. I just had somewhat of a silly question, how do I add a timed pause between adding images in a screen:

Code: Select all

screen memoria(horizontal, vertical, rounds):
    # minigame logos
    if game.turn == 0:
        add "minigame/GUI/game_start.png" pos (806,349) #anchor (.5,.5) # pos (1150,180) anchor (.5,.5) zoom .5
    else:
        add "minigame/rounds/rounds left {:02d}.png".format(game.rounds - game.turn + 1) pos (879,15) #anchor (.5,.5) # pos (1150,180) anchor (.5,.5) zoom .5

    # display the cards
    for c in game.cards:
        imagebutton:
            if c.is_face_up:
                idle im.Scale(c.card_img, game.card_width_pixel, game.card_height_pixel)
            else:
                idle im.Scale(game.assets_card_back, game.card_width_pixel, game.card_height_pixel)

How do I add a pause between 'minigame loops' and 'display the cards'? Is this possible?
Thanks!

There are different methods. One way would be to use a screen variable that determines whether the cards are already shown and make them hide by default. Then add a timer object that shows the cards after a while.

Code: Select all

screen memoria():
    default show_cards = False

    # minigame code

    if show_cards:
        # put your card code here
    else:
        timer 3.0 action SetScreenVariable("show_cards", True)

If you want the screen variable to reset to False when using the memoria screen again, make sure to hide it first.
