How to play text and image effect at the same time?

[KnightBaron]

I'm porting Narcussu to Ren'Py but I can't find any substitute command in Ren'Py for erasetextwindow in ONScripter.

Well, Sorry about my bad English again, Hope you understand what I'm try to say.

Can you describe what you're trying to accomplish? I think you can do it by setting _window_during_transitions to True (or False, depending), but I'm not 100% sure what you want.

[KnightBaron]

The thing is I'm trying to play text narration and image transition at the same time.

I think it's just like what I asked at some point : have the text window remain at all times, even if other things are changed (show, hide, transitions...)

[PyTom]

So that's done by

Code: Select all

$ _window_during_transitions = True

Nifty...

But the text still dissapears, only the text window stays in place.

I'd like a way to do a shake transition, like an hpunch, while keeping the text and window up, possibly even shaking the text filled window along with the scene. Any chance of that being possible?

[PyTom]

Yeah, you can write:

"She hit me hard!" with hpunch

[rocket]

Brilliant! Thankee!

Can I change multiple background image along with text narrartion?

Code: Select all

n "sometext"
scene img_e_c001a with dissolve
scene img_e_c001b with dissolve
scene img_e_c001 with dissolve
scene img_e_c002 with dissolve
scene img_e_c003 with dissolve
$renpy.pause(0.7)
scene img_e_c004 with dissolve
$renpy.pause(1.0)

In above example, "sometext" is display first and we need a click to advance to the image sequence
I want to get rid of that click and let the text narration and image sequence run at the same time.

What you want to do is to create an anim.TransitionAnimation, and show that.

Oops... I forgot there *was* a way to keep the window ^^;... At some point I imagined having the window displayed in the overlay function (maybe it could give more control as to when it's shown).

As for the last question, maybe using interact=false with the say function could also work? *ponders*

I'll try that. Thank you.

edit: And that's worked. Thanks a lot.
