creating a delay before going to a new level

[lzilberm]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering if someone may be able to help with an issue I've been having. I've created a game with different levels, and getting to a certain point within the map takes you to a new level. However, I need the game to pause for two seconds before actually going to the next level. If anyone knows how to do this...it would be awesome! Thanks everyone!

The FPS command is:

Code: Select all

sleep #

Place that in your code with the proper number and you should be good to go.

If it's RPG, I'm not sure what the command is.

Thanks arcones!
When you say "proper number," what does that number refer to? The number of seconds?

Yes, although it's not seconds per say. If you did:

Code: Select all

sleep 5000

That might do the trick (it might be in milliseconds, I don't remember).

Thanks a ton!!

Yes, it is in miliseconds.

If it's RPG, I'm not sure what the command is.

It's the same.

Hey everyone...I still haven't gotten this to work...if anyone has any knowledge about this...your input is much appreciated!

to add onto arc's code:

Code: Select all

level_trigger_# = [
sleep 5000 ; sp {mapname} 
]

Should be something like that. I think.

To fix that code:

Code: Select all

level_trigger_# = [
    sleep 5000 [
        sp {mapname}
    ]
]

is that how the sleep command works? It executes something once the wait is over? didn't know that.
