This is delay:
Code:
name delay
health 10
type enemy
nomove 1
antigravity 100
offscreenkill 3000
anim idle
@script
void self = getlocalvar("self");
int Health = getentityproperty(self, "health");
if(frame==1){
changeentityproperty(self, "health", Health-1);
if(Health <= 0){
killentity(self);
}
}
@end_script
loop 1
delay 9
offset 1 1
frame data/chars/misc/empty.png
delay 1
frame data/chars/misc/empty.png
anim spawn
delay 1

Hello!
I came across a recent issue, I'm not sure how relevant it is though. When writing the credits, I noticed that it has this strange habit of ending early and some text overlapping out of the blue.
Here's an example of the credits I have thus far, nothing inherently wrong it seems, but it fails to work properly when it plays:

Yes, or "THANK YOU FOR PLAYING" would show way too early over the scrolling text or it would end the moment "Scripts & Coding" showed up.
Addendum: the credits end the moment it gets past "Volcanic".
UPDATE: I AM A FOOL. It turns out I accidentally overlooked the linecount part of the command. My apologies.

Alright, I'm back again lol.
So, what I've noticed, is that the credits/scrolling text, has a huge issue that seemingly has some sort of relationship with the vsync and frame limit. If either of those are enabled, the text goes EXTREMELY slow. Is there a way to update the script ("story_scroll.c") to where it can be more consistent and be unaffected by those video changes?

I have never looked at the scripts, but mostly likely it's just a matter of update timing. Look for a timer variable and whatever value is fed to it then, tweak a little.

From what I found, here's the story_scroll.c:
Code:
void scrollText(char txtfile,int linecount,int spacing,char back,float spd)
{
max=linecount*spacing;
line = linecount;
space = spacing;
void init = getlocalvar("inited");
//void added = getlocalvar("lineadded");
initBack=back;
int cr=getlocalvar("cr_file");
float ll_oldtick=getlocalvar("oldtick");
float ll_tick=openborvariant("elapsed_time");
float ll_offset;
long scr=getSpriteScreen();
void back = getindexedvar(story_back);
if (!back){
if (initBack!=""){
setindexedvar(story_back, loadsprite("data/story/bgs/"+initBack));
setindexedvar(story_backfile, back);
}
}
if (!ll_oldtick){ll_oldtick=ll_tick;}
if (!cr){
cr=openfilestream("data/story/"+txtfile);
setlocalvar("cr_file",cr);
}
ll_offset=ll_tick - ll_oldtick;
if (ll_offset<=0.9){ll_offset=1;}
if (!init)
{
initLine();
init = 1;
setlocalvar("inited",init);
log("done!\n");
}else{
if (!getlocalvar("end")){
addLine(cr);
}
drawLine(cr,(ll_offset*spd));
setlocalvar("oldtick",ll_tick);
drawSpriteScreen();
}
}I'll admit I'm not exactly sure or confident as to how to "tweak" this. I tried to find some reference/wiki entries that cover more about vsync or framelimit and how they work with openbor in particular either.
UPDATE: Strangely enough, scrollPicture works oppositely. When both vsync and framelimit are disabled, it goes too fast, but when either or both are on, it works as intended.
