Using VFX & Input Button: Constant Wait

[The Final Rune]

[white]So, I've been working on my CBS, well, reworking actually (I have a lot of unnecessary elements). The basic controls for my CBS are in place and so far my scripts are working fine, but I've hit a wall.

Currently I've been play testing everything using multiple choice scripts, but now I'm ready to implement my VFX effects for menu navigation. The layout is rather simple, I just have VFX displaying the buttons and the commands attached to them, the problem is that I seem to have forgotten how to use VFX and the Input: Buttons: Constant Wait scripts together.

I want to display my graphics and wait for the player to press a button, thus causing a change to the VFX and opening a sub-menu (e.g. Magic -> Spell List, Item -> Inventory).

I was tempted to use a 0F setting on the VFX display, but I've had frozen games occur from using it in content scripts before. I used to know how to so this, but I've lost it somewhere over the years.

In the main VFX editor, look for the Marker option (towards the top of the screen), and change it to O. Make the total run time 0 (or 1, possibly) frame.

This causes the wait time for the script to continue 0 frames.

then, make it repeat infinately by setting loop to 0 (i think it was); followed by your input wait.

vfx > clear all vfx after input, and perform your action's vfx.
