1.0.1Ever 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 :observer => Object, - Object for which method should be called :method => :symbol, - Method to call on :observer Object :params => Object, - OPTIONAL: Any object you wish to pass to the :method)Real world example:
Spoiler
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: :play_shatter_sfx, frames: 170)
One of those calls look like this:
# Audio: Play fall againTDD::Timer.call_after_frames(observer: self, method: :play_shatter_sfx, frames: 170)
