Window Timer

-Tsukihime

 

This script provides basic countdown timer functionality for windows.

The timer is stored in frames, and decreases by 1 per frame update.

 

I have also implemented two features to demonstrate how it is used (ie: make this script actually useful)

 

1. Message windows. Automatically skips the message when time-out

2: Choice window. Automatically selects a time-out choice.

Script: http://db.tt/BUQC7Vfa

 

Usage

 

This script uses the control character "\T" (case insensitive) to specify time-out.

It is used in text input as follows

 

\T[n]

 

Where n is the number of seconds before time-out (1 second = 60 frames)

 

In message windows, you just need to include the control character somewhere.

 

In choice windows, the last choice that contains a time-out control will be selected as the time-out choice. So for example you might have

 

choice 1
  Yes
choice 2
  No
choice 3
  \T[5]Can you repeat the question?

 

If choice 2 was the cancel choice, and you time-out, then choice 3 will be selected.

 

For developers

 

For the most part you will probably only need to specify the time-out behavior. Simply alias or super that method

 

def update_timeout
  super
  # your code

This is exactly what I needed--thanks so much!

 

I hope you don't mind; I added it to my global/shared repo of scripts here.

This is pretty cool and handy.

 

One issue/question in relation to the 2nd feature: If a choice is made should the timer not disappear or become inactive? When I was testing it I had a choice followed by a choice and the timer seemed to continue over to the second choice?

Can someone send me a new link to the script? the original link doesn't work for me.

@xSydRowex

I cannot find the script.

I tried downloading the files but I don't see it.

tried checking in the GitHub files abut I don't see it.

Is the script under a different name or something?

Because the only thing I see that's is close to the title and creator is 'Window Animation'

Maybe it's only accessible for certain users or something?

I don't know.

Very sorry, I was wrong. Apparently this is one of the scripters that I did not include in my upload as Hime's site was still fully functional at the time.
