Character shake not screen [Solved]

Thanks for posting that shake transformation. I had one teeny tiny mistake and it just wouldn't work. Now it does.

You should read the quickstart, lowkey. And play through the tutorial game, and study the script of The Question. You can find the quickstart here: http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/quickstart.html

To better answer your question, you can put that transform definition anywhere. Most people put it at the start of the 'script.rpy' file. Or you can create a new 'transforms.rpy' file and put it there.
To use that transform on a sprite you just do as suggested, at the moment of showing that sprite.

Try this: run Ren'py and load 'The Question'. On the launcher screen, click on 'Navigate Script'. On the 'Category' list, make sure the files tab is selected. Click on the '+Add Script File' button. Type transforms.rpy and press the return key. A 'transforms.rpy' will be added to the current project. Highlight the text of the shake transform definition and paste it on the 'transforms.rpy' file. Make sure it looks like this:

Code: Select all

transform shake:
    ease .06 yoffset 24
    ease .06 yoffset -24
    ease .05 yoffset 20
    ease .05 yoffset -20
    ease .04 yoffset 16
    ease .04 yoffset -16
    ease .03 yoffset 12
    ease .03 yoffset -12
    ease .02 yoffset 8
    ease .02 yoffset -8
    ease .01 yoffset 4
    ease .01 yoffset -4
    ease .01 yoffset 0

Save that file.
Now edit the 'script.rpy' file of The Question. Navigate to line 89. Change

Code: Select all

show sylvie surprised

to

Code: Select all

show sylvie surprised at shake, center

Save the file.
Now play the game (choose 'ask her right away'). Keep playing. You will see that Sylvie will "tremble" with surprise when she hear the question.

Hey, I just had to thank you for this! I've been searching for this everywhere step by step because I'm so new to coding!
