Pause/Beat Function in Harlowe?

Zeanenica

Hi, I'm a bit of a Twine noob, and was wondering if there is a way for a pause that lasts a specified amount of time can be added before more text appears. For example, a bit of text would appear, then a piece of code would allow a pause, and then more text would appear.

Is this possible, and if so, could you possibly give me the code for it?

Please let me know. Again, I am using Harlowe, on Mac OS X.

You can use the (live:) macro to make something happen after a period of time, you will need to use a (stop:) macro to make sure it only happens a once.

You can use the (replace:) macro and a named hook to display text in a predetermined place on the page.

The following combines all of the above:

If you wait five seconds you will see some more text.

|more>[]

(live: 5s)[
	(replace: ?more)[Here is the text you waited for.]
	(stop:)
]

This worked perfectly, thank you
