Okay, so I’m going to assume that we’re in zone 1 for this. If you’re in a different zone, change the numbers accordingly.
First you need to create overlays that look like regular episode choices, like such:
You would place the options like this, just like with regular overlays. The tappable part comes later. Create as many as you want.
@overlay OPTION1 create AND overlay OPTION1 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay OPTION1 shifts to 20 215 AND overlay OPTION1 opacity 1.0
@overlay OPTION2 create AND overlay OPTION2 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay OPTION2 shifts to 20 165 AND overlay OPTION2 opacity 1.0
@overlay OPTION3 create AND overlay OPTION3 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay OPTION3 shifts to 20 115 AND overlay OPTION3 opacity 1.0
Then create a timer. It can look any way you want as long as the reader can see how much time they have left.
This is the slapdash one I just kind of threw together.
The timer overlays are not tappables, they’re just regular overlays. Place them directly on top of each other, like such:
@overlay TIMER0 create AND overlay TIMER0 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay TIMER0 shifts to 110 300 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER0 opacity 0
@overlay TIMER1 create AND overlay TIMER1 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay TIMER1 shifts to 110 300 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER1 opacity 0
@overlay TIMER2 create AND overlay TIMER2 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay TIMER2 shifts to 110 300 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER2 opacity 0
@overlay TIMER3 create AND overlay TIMER3 scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay TIMER3 shifts to 70 300 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER3 opacity 1
@overlay TIME UP create AND overlay TIME UP scales to 1.0 1.0 AND overlay TIME UP shifts to 110 300 in zone 1 AND overlay TIME UP opacity 0
Now for the important part of the code that makes it behave like a timed choice.
&pause for 1.0 THEN overlay TIMER2 opacity 1.0 AND overlay TIMER3 clear THEN pause for 1.0 THEN overlay TIMER1 opacity 1.0 AND overlay TIMER2 clear THEN pause for 1.0 THEN overlay TIMER0 opacity 1.0 AND overlay TIMER1 clear THEN pause for 0.5 THEN overlay TIMER0 clear AND overlay OPTION1 shifts to 20 600 in zon2 1 AND overlay OPTION2 shifts to 20 600 in zone 1 AND overlay OPTION3 shifts to 20 215 in zone 1 AND overlay TIME UP opacity 1.0
The purpose of this code is to options 1 and 2 off the screen so you can’t see them anymore, leaving option 3 (the “time’s up” option) as the only clickable option on the screen.
The tappable part would just work like this:
tappable “OPTION1” {
@overlay TIMER0 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER1 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER2 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER3 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIME UP shifts to 70 600 in zone 1
@overlay OPTION1 opacity 0 AND overlay OPTION2 opacity 0 AND overlay OPTION3 opacity 0
NARRATOR
You clicked option 1.
} “OPTION2” {
@overlay TIMER0 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER1 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER2 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER3 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIME UP shifts to 70 600 in zone 1
@overlay OPTION1 opacity 0 AND overlay OPTION2 opacity 0 AND overlay OPTION3 opacity 0
NARRATOR
You clicked option 2.
} “OPTION3” {
@overlay TIMER0 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER1 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER2 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIMER3 shifts to 110 600 in zone 1 AND overlay TIME UP shifts to 70 600 in zone 1
@overlay OPTION1 opacity 0 AND overlay OPTION2 opacity 0 AND overlay OPTION3 opacity 0
NARRATOR
You clicked option 3… too slow, Joe.
