3 little questions ;)

RobinRuf

Hey guys,

I have 3 little questions.

1. If i want a text is show up after 30 Minutes then I use the Timer-Behavior. But my question now is: Will the minutes continue even if the app is closed ? If the player close the app and a text should be normally show up after 30 Minutes and the player open the app after 30+ minutes again is the text then showed up or does the timer only continue if the app is open ?
   If the timer continues running even if the app is closed , can you tell me how I can make it that the player gets a notification when a new text is showing up and the game is closed on he's/her phone?

2. How can I make an animation of a text? I want that a text is showing up like it is typing in this moment!

3. How can I make that if a new text is coming in the other texts there already typed going up on the screen (like a real texting app) ?

Best Regards

1. Timer behaviors only run when the app is active/open. Check out this template for what you're interested in doing: http://gshelper.com/product/farmville-type-countdown-timer-using-real-time-even-when-app-is-not-running. GameSalad cannot do notifications. There may be third-party ways to do that such as http://www.appformative.com.
2. There are different ways to program this. You may find some using the forum search field. Search for typewriter to begin with. If you can't find any, I may have a demo I made a while back.
3. Again, you'd have to program that... someone may have a good suggestion for you so stay tuned!
