Topic: Wait function stops background object movement

[Sparkiller]

Hi everyone!

For the intro of my current project i'm trying to have a background of moving stars (via object and room_RepExec), while the Text (overlay in room_AfterFadeIn) displays in front of it.
The Move-function in room_load works fine, but using the Wait-function seems to interrupt/stop the background loop and i can't figure out why. Here is the code i'm using:

room_load:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. oStarsHor.Move(0, 200, 1, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);

room_RepExec:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. if (oStarsHor.Y == 200) {
2. oStarsHor.Y = 600;
3. oStarsHor.Move(0, 200, 1, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
4. }

room_AfterFadeIn:

Code: Adventure Game Studio

1. Wait(180);
2. Overlay* myOverlay = Overlay.CreateTextual(50,80,300,5,11,"Blah blah blah");
3. Wait(160);
4. myOverlay.SetText(0,Game.SpeechFont,15,"");
5. Wait(80);
6. myOverlay.SetText(300,5,11,"Blah blah blah");
7. Wait(160);
8. etc. etc.

Thanks in advance!

room_RepExec is subsceptible to block functions, use repeatedly_execute_always() instead (you don't need to link it to the room events).

That solved it! Thank you for your fast response!
