As some of you know, you can't get the game to accurately give you a delay of something like 0.01. It seems that any delay under 0.25 seconds gives a delay of 0.25 or so. So, is there a work around for this? I have developed a complicated dialog system and I want the text to fill a window one letter at a time instead of all at once. Problem is, even if I say 0.01 delay, the letters seem to show up at the rate of about 5 per second or something hellishly slow like that. Any suggestions? |

Use periodic events and start them from the main trigger. Like Code:
Trigger 1: Event - When something happens Action - set an array variable to every character in the text Action - set PeriodicCount = 1 Trigger 2: Event- every 0.05 seconds Condition - If PeriodicCount is greater than 0 Action - Add the ArrayVariable[PeriodicCount] to the text Action - set PeriodicCount = PeriodicCount + 1 Action - If ArrayVariable[PeriodicCount] equal to <empty string> then set PeriodicCount = 0 |
