Text Fade-In/Out?

[llirium]

I really wish that I could do this in Ren'Py, but I can't seem to find out how. *blushes* Looked over a fair bit of the wiki, but no luck.. or that I'm a programming dunce or missed something. -.-

What I want to do in my game is to have sentence fragments appear with a fade-in.. and disappear with a fade-out.

Is there any other way besides creating image files of the text? Or making the text transparent (or appear to be) somehow?

Hm... I can't check it 'cause I'm at work right now, but off the top of my head I'm pretty sure the following should work:

Code: Select all

    e "I've been thinking..."

    e "I've been thinking... about buying a Rubik's cube." with dissolve

    e "I've been thinking..." with dissolve

Gah.. yeah.. that works ok, I think.. I'll try working with customizing it, but for a brief dissolve, that works fine. Thank you!

The one thing is you may want to put {fast} at the end of the lines with dissolves in them. Otherwise, it may not work as you want with slow text.
