Moving windows off screen before a $scene change

[Kain Nobel]

Welp, now that my moving windows script works all lovely like, I would like to know how to stall the whole Graphics.transition, loop do, scene break, go to scene new stuff in the 'main' method of a scene.

Basically, all I need is for that process (where the scene changes to the next scene) to stall long enough to let all of my Windows to move off the screen. Can somebody help me, I haven't figured out how to do it on my own yet.

You mean the Graphics.freeze though right? After the do loop inside main you could have something like:

while @window_suchandsuch.is_moving?
  # update windows
  Graphics.update
end

Or you could incorporate some kind of check into update that disallows the scene from changing until the windows have stopped moving. In any case I think you'll need some kind of boolean built into your window that is able to tell whether or not a window has stopped moving or is currently moving.

def update
  while @window_suchandsuch.is_moving?
    # update windows
    Graphics.update
  end
  ... other update code
end

If I understand your question right, you need to mod the break case in the main loop. Basically:

while $scene != self
  break
end

Add another condition to the $scene != self, the condition being that the x or y coordinate of one of the exitting windows when they are all out of the screen. Something like:

while $scene != self && @window.x >= 640

Hope that helps
