WAES(Waiting Animation Event System)
Version: 1.0
Type: Aesthetics Enhancement
 
Introduction
 
This event system has been designed to detect inactivity from the player. Upon the passing of 10secs with no directional input(moving the player) the event system triggers a change of graphics. This allows for the emulation of emotion in relation to waiting(boredom, etc...) This system mimics that of waiting animations found in many SNES games such as: Harvest Moon and The Illusion of Gaia.
 
Features
 
*Uses a variable to keep tack of the time passed
*Changes the actor's graphics to a specified file
*Loops the animation until directional input is made

Author's Notes
 
This is a neat little system ...
Try it out if you get some free time. I didn't incorporate any custom graphics into the DEMO though ...

General Information: Picture Display with Interactive Scrolling
This event system has been coded to do one thing ... give the player the ability to scroll pictures by using the Up and Down arrow keys (this system is not limited to using only these keys, but will require modification in order to use additional keys). This system has two optional features that have been pre-coded into the system for optional use. You have the ability to use different pictures upon calling the same scene, and you have the ability to set custom music to be played while viewing the scene (You can also change the music for each picture you use!! Simply use the additional slots provided, or add more if there are not enough slots to suit your needs).
 
Features:
1. Interactive Scrolling
2. The option to use different pictures at different times
3. The option to use custom BGM while displaying the pictures
4. The ability to change the music for each picture if you decide to use the additional picture(s) feature.
** Features 2-4 have been coded for optional use. You are not required to use them in your game.
** Your choice not to use them will in NO WAY effect your game, or the efficiency of this system.
