setting time

i'm sorry if the question has been repeated but,

how i do set timing for a cartain event trigger?
 is the "pause" action part or not?  i'm using VS 5 RC2

thank you!

The pause action part pauses the current action list at the position you inserted it & then resumes with the rest of the action parts once the time you specified is up.

display text "blah blah blah! <p1000ms>"
pause for 2000ms -- pause > actions below will continue after 2000ms (2 seconds)
play animation "protagonist_wink"
some other actions

There are a few other ways to pause the action part list too, as you can use wait until based action parts. Simon added a few new ones to the action part list for the most recent update.

ok i searched for "timer" in this forum and i found a tutorial called "test shader" now it is a bit more clear. I have to create a timer value add or subtract  1 and pause then jump to action part1,

thanks for help i'll focus more on the the tutorial bye!!

You mean a loop?

Create called by other action block (anywhere in the editor that you can create actions). & inside of that add a pause action part, set it to 1000ms. Next add the set value action part, then add a jump to x action part (leave it as absolute & #1). Job done, you've created a looping action block that updates a value every 1000ms (1 seconds).

Finally you will need to call that action block at beginning of each scene probably otherwise when you load a save file it won't automatically start it looping.

Thank you i finally got what i needed, thank you for your tutorial too!
