Title Help
Does anyone know how to make it so, you can't press any buttons until the title screen is done lading. Like, my title screen moves and such, sorta like Kingdom Hearts 2's title screen, so is there a way I can make it so, no matter what button you press none will do anything until its fully loaded. When I hit enter in the begining of my title, once it's done loading some parts turn black and un-transparent I have no idea why but..it does. So, thanks in advance.

Re: Title Help
I've found out how to wait for inputs until the title animation ends. If you haven't made changes to your Scene_Title script, replace it by this one entirely, or else you can copy only the parts that was modified/added.

The idea is to add a timer for the command window. So your graphics, music and sounds will all update in the loop, but not the command window with the choices New game, Continue... Once the timer reaches the desired value (the time needed for your title animation) the command window is created and added with the other updates in the loop.
So basically what I did was creating an instance variable called @title_timer (line 44). Then I cut all the command window code that was in the main method. In the "loop do" of the main method (line 46), I added a "if" condition and pasted all the command window code. This condition is where you set the timer value (line 48: if @title_timer >= 200). In scripts updates are in 1/40 seconds. If your animation lasts 5 seconds, then the value would be 200 for the condition. So the condition structure is:
If timer has reached the value that you set here
do command window code
stop the timer (value –1)
else
increment timer by 1 if timer is not stopped
end
The other change in the script is the update method (line 100). The update method is used to update the command window at every loop in the main method, but now it must update only when the timer has reached its value. When the timer reaches its value, I make it stop by setting it to minus 1. So I simply added a condition at line 102 where the timer must be stopped in order to update the command window.
if @title_timer == -1
update command window
end
I’m not sure what’s going on here, it depends on what you use for your graphics. If some parts are not transparent, check the blending, opacity, the order in which you place your graphics. Some graphics, like images, can have higher priority than others… but I can’t tell the exact problem.Originally posted by RUEIK View Post

Re: Title Help
Thanks! It works, and as for the black screen happening I fixed that too. Thanks again.Comment
