You know how in mass effect and stuff you get timed choices? Could someone make that happen? like we would have to make a plugin command or something. So if anyone could make this It'd be nice. thx

I wonder if you could start a parallel common event to count frame using variable. Then when it reached certain value, force the choice window to choose something using script call.

I don't know. Haven't tried it.

Oh ya, I did write a plugin for timed choices but I never released it.


The way it works was right before the choice selection, you would set a timer. This isn't the game timer though, but a separate timer specifically for the choice.


The game then keeps track of the time for you, and if you don't select anything before time runs out, it'll automatically select an option.


Not sure if it should select the "Default" or the "Cancel" option though.

I was just looking for a plugin like this and saw that you had made one previously for Ace. It would be wonderful if you could release your plugin!

As for the choice it should select, I wonder if it would it be possible to have it chose the choice the cursor is on? If not, I would suggest it selects the "Default" option, in case someone wants to disallow "Cancel."

Might be better to just leave it as an option when you make the plugin command for setting up the timer, so you can choose


1. Default


2. Cancel


3. Current

...I don’t mean to be bothersome, but I was wondering if this plugin is something you are still working on, Hime? 


I love the many choice-enhancing plugins you've already developed, and the timed choice plugin you described here sounded awesome!

Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
