Other statements

Wait

When called with no arguments, this pauses and waits for the user to click before advancing the script. If given a delay parameter, then Ren'Py will wait for that amount of time before continuing, unless a user clicks to interrupt the delay. This is useful to, for instance, show an image that will stay on screen for a certain amount of time and then proceed to the next script statement without waiting for a click forever.

# wait for the user to click
> wait
# wait 2 seconds
> wait 2
# wait 2.5 seconds
> wait 2.5
