i have made a timer for a sequence to my custom story. it's the second sequence timer in the map, but this one does not want to go past case 1.
can someone please help me to fix this error/bug or mismade script? it would be a great help!
the timer is activate by a script area, and as i said it works, but just not past case 1.

it is the "WakeUp1" script that does not work

Right, don't make two posts for your issue, and please atleast post them in the right section of the forums.

I've moved it to the right section.

thank you sir. and from now on i'll keep in might which section to post

really? no one?

Why don't you just check against the timer name with if(-else) statements instead of incrementing a local map variable with a switch statement?

but will i be able to set a kind of timer through that?

Does the other switch(intro) work without problems?


By the way, your way of delaying the next case is really not as good as it can be. Look at rainy halls for example!
