Refresh time

[Nava]

how do i make the refresh time of my text increase. i have text boxes created with my script and they take like 30 seconds to go away is there a way to shorten the time on that? thanx in advance

 

[Daniel]

Could you please explain more in detail?

 

[Nava]

well. in my script i have it create message boxes and messages in the boxes obviously. and it takes quite a bit of time for them to dissapear, so i was wondering if there was a way or syntax i should say that lets me set the time it takes to refresh. or maybe a syntax that allows me to push enter like regular text and have it dissapear. i hope that this explanation helps to describe what i am looking to do.

Is it your own script? Or one that someone else made?

 

[Nava]

it is my own script why do u ask?

 

[Ceroscuro]

Post the script. We can't help you if you don't know how you did it.

Spoiler: script

def initialize
super(0, 308, 621, 150)
self.contents = Bitmap.new(width-32, height-32)
self.contents.font.name = 'Arial'
self.contents.font.size = 24
refresh
end


def refresh
self.contents.clear
if $variable * 53 != @@password
refresh_3
else
refresh_2
end
end


def refresh_2
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Thank you, the gate is now open.')
end


def refresh_3
self.contents.clear
self.contents.font.color = text_color(6)
self.contents.draw_text(0, 0, 400, 32, 'Im sorry but those credentials arent')
self.contents.draw_text(0, 25, 400, 32, 'valid, please come back and try again')
self.contents.draw_text(0, 50, 400, 32, 'in a moment when the screen refreshes.')
end

First of all, why do you have self.contents.clear in the refresh_2 and refresh_3 methods? The contents get cleared in the refresh method. Second of all, are you disposing the window at the end of your scene?

 

[Nava]

??? you have confused me can you please elaborate?

 

[Daniel]

Do you dispose of your windows at the end of the main method? For example:

def main
  @window1 = Window_Whatever1.new
  @window2 = Window_Whatever2.new
  loop do
    Graphics.update
    Input.update
    update
    if $scene != self
      break
    end
  end
[color=red]  @window1.dispose
  @window2.dispose[/color]
end

all i did was make th text appear after it does the check. so if $variable * 53 != @@password then it does refresh_3 and all the tutorial i used to make text appear had thet self.contents.clear at the beginning of them it was by dubealex i didnt make a scene for it and i probably should. even thoough im not quite sure how to i kan always try
