How to make delayed-time-event with text render? (Undertale's text system question)

[blankboy2002]

Hi everyone. I'm trying to make a role-playing game (with text render system likes Undertale, but using .INI files). For 5 months, I wasted my time trying to do it day by day. So I decided to post on this forum to get some new ideas from Fusion "veterans". So, can I have an example about this?
Or can I get some information about "delayed-event" system?

Now, I'm having problem with this.
Like, I want "Event_X" to fire since the 4th second, but I dont know why it start since the frame run.

If it necessary, I will post my project file.

Thanks for reading.

I'm not familiar with the game you refer to but there are many ways of doing a delayed-event system using the timer in Fusion - I've given you 2 examples:

• Frame 1 will activate a group of events when the timer is 4 seconds in - the group of events aren't active when the frame starts (it's a box you tick).
• Frame 2 will do something every 4 seconds (and also every 2 seconds so that you can see the change every 4 seconds).

Tip: reading / writing to an ini file during the game takes a lot of resources - it will slow the game down.
I would recommend you load want you need into global strings at the start of the frame and then save them again at the end of the frame.

You're welcome.

I forgot something - on frame 1 line 3- timer is greater than 4 - you also need to insert in the same event but after it - run this event once. Because it will keep on running / executing that command if you don't.
