Small picture problem

[moog]

Ok, just a small problem this time. I want to show a screen but if you push the accept (z) key it will go past it. Would using a picture as an event work? Like if I set that and then pushed a button it would go past it right?

Sure. Just set up your event something like this:

@>Show Picture: 1
@>Label: Loop
@>Wait: 1 Frame
@>Conditional Branch: "A" key is being pressed (A = Z on keyboard)
   @>Erase Picture: 1
  : Else
   @>Jump to Label: Loop
  : End Processing

You can also use loops and the break loop function, but I prefer labels myself.

Thanks ^_^
It was buggin' the crap out of me.
I appreciate it!

Labels/goto are usually frowned upon and generally bad practice; I advise a loop/break or a parallel process instead.

It works either way, nobody is going to see the event page though, except maybe myself and TokyoKenshin (I'm beta-testing his game), so I doubt it matters.

@Hevendor: Really? Why?
I'm just curious, it works the same as a loop/break, so does it really matter?
