Achievement Unlocked notification?

[Giovedi]

I feel like this should be simple, and I'm just too inexperienced with images to make it happen on my own...

Anyway, how can I get a little 'achievement unlocked' banner to appear, then fade out, like they do on Steam etc? I've got a bonus gallery whose elements only unlock after picking certain choices throughout the game. When the player's unlocked something, I'd like to alert them via little banner in the corner so they know not to take that path again next playthrough.

This can done by using persistent data and showing the notification with a bit of ATL. For example:

Code: Select all

image achieve1 = "achieve1.png"

transform achieveanim:
    xalign 1.0  yalign 0.0 alpha 0.0
    easeout 0.5 alpha 1.0
    2.5 # Pause
    linear 3.0 alpha 0.0

label start:
    "DEMO: achievement notification with persistent data"

    if not persistent.achieve1:
        show achieve1 at achieveanim with hpunch

    "You will not see the image again until you clear persistent data."

    $ persistent.achieve1 = True

    return

NOTE: Persistent booleans go from False to True, so this if statement may look funny.

Whoa, thanks guy! Exactly what I needed.
