Countdown timer that interrupts messages

[welcler]

Is it possible to have a countdown timer that activates a game over even while ex. you are in the middle of talking to someone? I understand how to create the countdown timer and it does work. However if the game is in the middle of displaying text messages when the timer is 0, the game over only occurs after the messages finish. I want it to interrupt the messages instead of waiting until they are over.

If we talk about it being possible, there are at least three ways to do it that come to my mind. However, non of them can be achieved without using a script. The easiest would probably be activating a certain switch when the timer is on and use that switch in the Graphics.update method to call the game over scene if the timer is 0.

The only thing that might be achieved with events is using a parallel process to forcibly close the message window and then trigger the game over screen, but I am not 100% sure that something like that would work.

Alright thanks, I'll to make a post in script requests, but concerning your parallel process solution how would you forcibly close the message window?
