It's conceivable that someone could make you start reading again after you open your map, but the act of opening it in this game is a Timed Action, and reading is also a Timed Action, and you can only do one Timed Action at a time.

I gotcha lol I just hate being stuck on the floor reading and unable to start planning my days with the map at the same time lol. Thanks for the quick reply and great mod by the way.

I see that I have used ambiguous language above. No one has ever interpreted it as you did, but I can see why you interpreted it that way. I did not mean to imply that you can read while opening a map; I only meant to say that you can open a map while walking. Viewing the map is a form of reading, Not all read-while-walking mods let you open your map while your character is in motion, because it is a fundamentally different function of the game, and handled differently than other forms of reading, so I am only emphasizing that you can do that form of reading while you walk, too (specifically while opening it). Of course, once the map is open, the game no longer takes movement input, so ordinary movement after it's open is not supported by this mod, but this mod stops minor movement during the opening of the map from cancelling the map-opening function (which always annoyed me personally).

How do you use your map while reading? Every time I try, it stops reading the book.

Sorry, you cannot. However, the mod is easily patchable if you want to make an expansion.

can you pretty a hotkey to read automatically like with read while walking?

Also, fwiw, True Music Jukebox is like the culmination of all the time I've spent modding this game, so you'll probably find better best Zomboid practices there than any of my early mods.

Well thank you kindly for taking the time to tell me! Regardless of whether it worked, I like to keep my code clean, and that was most definitely unclean! ❤️

@Burryaga I came across this by chance. Having inspected @toomanynights Dig Worms mod and mentioning his code well-implemented, he praised you for assisting him. Curiosity pushed me to see what type of mods you created.

A while back I had added a feature similar to Cat's Reading into a personal mod pack. I would have subscribed to Cat's Reading if it was not for its implementation. To re-declare an entire object verbatim, simply to change a few values was just bad code. That made me curious about Mobile Reader's implementation.

Needless to say, I found it well-implemented, except for that "hidden" bug. That's Lua for you; it let's you do anything and mostly get away with it :)
