Uhm, I'm trying to get the meaning from this post :-s, and I make from this that you're hoping to stop the program without using wait. Am I right? Anyway, you could use sleep or simply put a custom wait/sleep command in there.

startTimer=timer()
while timer()-startTimer()<1000
sync
endwhile

And this should stop the program for 1 second.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

the idea is that you are in a 3d world and when you go in a building a 2d bitmap comes up of the interior and some dialog come up with the person in side the 2d interior now at the moment all i can gert the program to do i is to put on the bitmap and then put on the text and then when i give the player time to read the dialog i can't get the program to stop with the images pasted because all the wait and sleep command take them alway as does this



that what i meant :-s

If you are using sprites on top of a 3D environment, I believe you'll have to have a loop that places the objects every time, even if they're not moving.

You can use a 3D plain, texture it and lock it to the screen. Then your loop will work. You'll have to SYNC though, or the keypress will never be picked up.

Thanks in advance.
All the Best,

Yep... Thats one way to do it alright, but you can try this too if you want to use the mouse to get out of the loop.

repeat
REM >>>Paste you image on this line.<<<
text 100,100, "This is the text of your message here... Using Text or Print command."
sync
until mouseclick()=1
repeat:until mouseclick()=0

The above works just fine.

Ta ta for now

Mmm well it should not do that.
The line [repeat:until mouseclick()=0] is there so that it will not move on until your not clicking.

You can add a little short wait before that line, something like wait 100 which would pause it before it checks the mouse, but you should not need to.
Your mouse button could be faulty maybe??? Maybe it is "un-clicking" for a brief time and this is making the routine end??

I dont know......Sorry!!

Ta ta for now
