Ever wanted to call a sound effect in your scripts after, say, 30 frames have passed? Or how about wait 60 seconds before you render a sprite with the bitmap Cache.system("gone_4_60_s")? Well now you can, with this teeny tiny and easy-to-use script!
Introducing the fantabulous TDD::Timer.call_after_frames!
You use it like this:
TDD::Timer.call_after_frames( :frames => Number, - Number of frames to wait before calling :method bserver => Object, - Object for which method should be called :method => :symbol, - Method to call on bserver Object arams => Object, - OPTIONAL: Any object you wish to pass to the :method)Real world example:
Here it is used (in combination with my Ease animation script) to match the sound effects to the animation, by using delayed calls to methods that call the sound effect:
One of those calls look like this:
# Audio: Play fall againTDD::Timer.call_after_frames(observer: self, method: lay_shatter_sfx, frames: 170)
One of those calls look like this:
# Audio: Play fall againTDD::Timer.call_after_frames(observer: self, method: lay_shatter_sfx, frames: 170)
