Pause

[lucifer1101]

was wondering if there would be any way to pause.
for ex i have a scripted npc that will say 1 thing and then i want him to wait X amount of time and then say something else

I didn't understand about the pause thing :P
About the npc, you mean like:
Speak with him, and you get response:
-HI
Always until you spoke 10 (x) times with him, then you get:
-hello
?

no i mean he says
hi
then waits 10 secs
and says
hello

just cuz what needs to be said is pretty big and nobody can read that fast

Oh, now i understand, sorry.
I wasn't sure if you wanted this for many npcs or just 1 so i did it for many, because you can use it for 1 too.
Hope you don't mind if I explain with much details (maybe some1 is reading this topic for the same reason as you but don't know how to use it):

1- Add this at the end of the 'main.txt' (but if you are using the 'sub test(index)' add it over it)
```
Sub npcspeech(index, script)

Select Case script
Case 0
Call playermsg(index, "Hi, I'm a talking NPC. Note: I'm not a self aware A.I.! If I was, I you wouldn't be reading this message. I'm on case" & script & ".", 1) 'lol, just example
Call RemoveTimer("npcspeech " & index & "," & 0)

Case 1
Call playermsg(index, "Hi, I'm a talking NPC. Note: I'm not a self aware A.I.! If I was, I you wouldn't be reading this message. I'm on case" & script & ".", 1) 'example 2
Call RemoveTimer("npcspeech " & index & "," & 1)

End Select
End Sub

```2- Ignore the cases that I placed there, that's just for example (plus, it's funny :P), just edit it for your needs

How to use (exactly):
To call it (here x is the case number and '10000' is in mille sec. _):
```
Call Settimer("npcspeech " & index "," & X, 10000)
```
To End it (here x is the case number):
```
Call RemoveTimer("npcspeech " & index & "," & X)
```

You said you wanted to say somethig then say something after 10 sec:```
Call playermsg(index, "hi", 1)
Call Settimer("npcspeech " & index "," & 0, 10000)
```
On the sub that I posted, place this in:
```
Call playermsg(index, "Hello", 1)
Call RemoveTimer("npcspeech " & index & "," & 0)
```
Hope this helps,

lol its a bit confuzing but is ther any way of doing that for just 1 npc and being able to have it in sub quest1

[Zananok]

Ops sorry if I confused it… Anyway, there is no way that it can be in a sub without to run it all or if its in case so, you do like the last post or you can also do like this one (1 npc only)

Place this on the end of the main.txt

Sub npcspeech(index)
Call playermsg(index, "EDIT THIS, HERE IS WHERE YOUR BIG MSG WILL BE", 1)
all RemoveTimer("npcspeech " & index)
End Sub

Place this where you want to call it:
Call Settimer("npcspeech " & index, 10000)

Every thing is already settled up, just need to edit the red.

Note: actually you can do it.. but it would be a big job + need .ini for a simple stuff as this…
Sorry,
