How do one make a "wait" and "wait until movement".

How do one make a "wait" and "wait until movement" in rgss?

 

[Sheol]

Wait: there's a variable called "@wait_frames" or something like that, just increase it:

@wait_frames += 20

and sorry, i forgot completely about the move lists...

I think it's @wait_count not frames

@wait_frames

Is a variable, it makes no difference is he calls it @wait_count, its how you set the variable up afterwards ^_^

 

[ToriVerly]

if it's just a variable, how does it make the script wait?

 

[Elijah von Bose]

It pauses the interpreter, I believe. As the interpreter would update, it would check the variable and wait, although, due to the fact that it is an instance variable, in no possible way could it work. However:
You can find a great deal of the eventing commands hidden in the "Interpreter" sections of your Script Editor.

So, you could, in essence, find the method for waiting, and be finished with it. Also, there's a chance it could be #Interpreter->wait_frames or such. Then the other idea is possible.

Hope I've been helpful!

I doný think that will work.
What I'm trying to do is something like:

move character RIGHT, WAIT 5 seconds (of frames, whatever), and the move my character LEFT.

The thing is that when i do this is rgss, the computer does the last command; the first command is ignored; and the character moves only to the left.

how can i make the script WAIT (lag) for some time?

I dont know what this really does, but it works.

sleep(x)

the game wait x seconds and then continue. It might help you.

 

[kaB00M]

Are you for real?
sleep(x) just like that; without a variable sign (@,@@,$) before it?

 

[SolarisSpell]

yeah ^_^ (Im not in home to test it, but Im pretty sure)

code
code
sleep (2)
code
code
...

Sleep causes all processing to stop. The game will be Non-Responsive for the amount of seconds in sleep(x). It doesn't cause waiting in-game, only on the title screen.

 

[kaze950]

What do you mean only on the title screen?

I just did

*sleep(5)
*show text

and it showed the text 5 seconds afterwards.

Try sleep(12) and you´ll see ^^

In all honestly, sleep isn't your best choice. I actually recommend adding this to your scene.

class Scene_YOURSCENENAME
  attr_acceessor :wait
  alias_method :seph_waitthingy_scnwhatever_update, :update
  def update
    if @wait > 0
      @wait -= 1
      return
    end
    seph_waitthingy_scnwhatever_update
  end
end

Change Scene_YOURSCENENAME to whatever scene you are using (If you are using the map, it would be Scene_Map).

Then, you can use:

$scene.wait = n

That will make it delay x frames. Make sure this is below all your scripts though.


The wait until move completes is a little trickier. I will look and see what I can't do.
