Title: text window delay

Looked everywhere for this...

There's an option in the Interaction Editor's Message Editor for Automatically remove this message after a time. Can I just script this raw?

Manual: Reference -> Text script global variables -> game.skip_display

If you don't want to do this globally for all Display commands, you could use a custom function:

Code Select


// Main global script

function myDisplay(string text) {
  int oldsetting = game.skip_display;
  game.skip_display = 0;
  Display(text);
  game.skip_display = oldsetting;
}

Code Select


// Main script header

import function myDisplay(string text);
