resting/relaxed position

[llamallover2021]

is there a way to make your character "rest" in a stance if you don't move for a while? like if you don't press anything for like, 3 minutes, he goes from a "ready pose" to a relaxed pose.

Could be done with timers? or whatever they call them, I'll try and see...

Make your own sprites of the characters in a relaxed pose and when the relaxation is initiated, change sprites and when the relaxation is over, change sprites back.

That simple.

Well, how do you get it initiated???

ah. this is my favorite part.

the part I know.

I'm not at a computer so I'm doing this in my head but,

-make 2 variables ("rest input" and "rest timer")

-make a common event ("idle") and make it parallel process

-in the idle event, code this in:


:wait 1 sec
:add 1 to the variable "rest timer"
:Fork option (rest time variable): = 10 or above
{ move event (hero) change graphics (rest sprite)
: key input processing (rest input variable): all boxes checked except the store time one
:Fork option (rest input variable): = 1 or above
{ move event (hero) change graphics (normal sprite)
:set variable "rest timer" to = 0
:set variable "rest input" to = 0
}
}

that should work. I've used it before.
