Is there a way to make tappable overlays on time

I wanna make a mini-game for my story with tappable overlays but I need it to be on a timer . is there a way to do that with tappable overlays

#2

I’m not really sure. The timer is only available for timed choices.
You could give it a go.

#3

To make a overlay tappable, you will have to use this syntax

Blah blah blah
Tappable
“Overlayname” {

The outcome goes here.

}

Carry on with the rest of the story here.

I think to make it timed, you’d do this:

tappable [timed:#]
“Overlayname” {

Outcome goes here.

}

@Apes helped me with mine ages ago.

tappable [timed: 4]

Make sure you add a (non) tappable choice at the end. It won’t show up as an option but thats what I had to do Xx

So let’s say your overlays are

Chocolate, cookie, milkshake

tappable [timed: 4]
“Chocolate” {
Insert what happens here
}
“Cookie” {
Insert what happens here
}
“Milkshake” {
Insert what happens here
}
“Random choice” {
Insert what happens if they don’t choose in time.
}

Also change the 4 to what ever number of seconds you want.

Thanks. I have gotten to work. I could not use it anyway because I need it to pan and you cant make it and timed at the same time
