Holding Dissolve During Text

#1 Post by Obscura »

I've been searching through the archives here but can't seem to find a solution to the following:

Here is the sample code:

Code: Select all

$ slowdissolve = dissolve(10.0)

show house with slowdissolve:
    size (800, 600) crop (0, 0, 400, 300)

pause 10.0

"You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door."
"There is a small mailbox here."
As soon as the player clicks the first line, it aborts the dissolve and the image appears more quickly than I would like.

What's the code for a persistent slow dissolve while the player keeps clicking through text?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Try using a ATL transform instead of the ol' transition. Our friend Saguaro gave a good example here (Opacity): http://lemmasoft.renai.us/forums/viewto ... 56#p216356
You'll just need to change the linear value to 10.0.

No, sorry! You must be mistaking me for someone else.
