🟪 QTE

QTE stands for "Quick Time Event": this block creates a fast, timed challenge where the user must act quickly (for example, tapping the screen several times) before a timer runs out, or they fail.

Inspired by video game mechanics, this block is ideal for simulating tense situations such as a flight, a fight or an urgent action requiring an immediate reaction.

📥 Entries

• in (Flux): Immediately triggers the QTE event.
• choice (Localized text): Instruction text displayed to guide the user (eg: "Press quickly!", "Run away!").
• timer (Number): Maximum duration (in seconds) to accomplish the objective. Default: 3 seconds.
• objective (Number): Number of pressures required to succeed. Default: 10.

📤 Outings

• success (Flow): Path taken if the user reaches the objective before the end of the timer.
• failure (Flux): Path taken in case of failure (timer expired or inaction).

💡 Example of use

Scenario: Escaping an explosion

1. The player finds himself in a burning building and must escape before it collapses.
2. The flow activates the QTE block to simulate the race to the exit.
3. Block configuration:

• choice: "RUN TO THE EXIT!"
• timer: 4 seconds
• objective: 15 rapid presses

1. If the player succeeds, the success exit leads to a successful escape cutscene.
2. In case of failure, the failure exit triggers a game over screen.

⚙️ Technical Details

• Interface blocking: During QTE, the screen is locked to maximize immersion and tension.
• Multilingual support: The choice text is compatible with translation systems.
• Visual feedback: A progress gauge or animated effect on the button is usually displayed to guide the user.
