Moving character within a scene

#1 Post by Calissa Leigh » Sat Apr 14, 2012 3:58 pm

Hi,

I'm trying to figure out how to move a character from perhaps the center of the screen, and then move them to a location to the left or right without dissolve?

Is there something like "slide nameofcharacter left" already or could someone show me the code to do it?

Thanks!

show nameofcharacter at left with move (or with ease, if the movement looks too sudden)
Keep your script in your Dropbox folder.
It allows you to share files with your team, keeps backups of previous versions, and is ridiculously easy to use.

Great. :) Feel free to ask if you need anything else. "Ren'Py Questions and Announcements" is the section specifically for this kind of question.
