[Resolved] ATL and transitions

[Gear]

Can't seem to figure this out:

Code: Select all

image steamroll:
    "extras/sr1.png"
    pause .5
    "extras/sr2.png"
    pause .5
    "extras/sr3.png"
    pause .5
    "extras/sr4.png"
    pause .5
    repeat

Adding

Code: Select all

with dissolve

after the image before the pause doesn't work. Does ATL not accept transitions, or is there some other way to do it?

Try this:

Code: Select all

image steamroll:
    "extras/sr1.png" with Dissolve(0.5, alpha=True)
    pause .5
    "extras/sr2.png" with Dissolve(0.5, alpha=True)
    pause .5
    "extras/sr3.png" with Dissolve(0.5, alpha=True)
    pause .5
    "extras/sr4.png" with Dissolve(0.5, alpha=True)
    pause .5
    repeat

It should work.

That worked very well! But what does the alpha=True part mean?

You have to use it your image contains transparency.

Function: Dissolve (time, old_widget=None, new_widget=None, alpha=False):
This dissolves from the old scene to the new scene, by overlaying the new scene on top of the old scene and varying its alpha from 0 to 255. Dissolve only works correctly when both scenes are the same size.

time - The amount of time the dissolve will take.

alpha - If True, the resulting displayable will have an alpha channel, at the cost of some speed. If False, it will be treated as opaque, but be faster.
