[Solved] Easein transitions and fading

[yuucie]

I've been trying to get chars to ease in when moving into the screen with easeinleft etc. commands, but also fading in while doing so.

Since easein transitions and dissolve commands don't stack together (i.e. renpy runs through 1 command first and then completely ignore the other), I've done this as a workaround:

Code: Select all

   
 show Emily neutral:
        xalign 0.5
        alpha 0.0
        linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
with easeinleft

which so far works nicely until I use the skip function. the skip function causes chars to fade in halfway (or just a third of transparency) and then freeze, and if I pause skipping, the character remains transparent for the entire scene. I assume skipping through text passes over the alpha and linear commands, causing a ghost like effect to happen.

My question is, is there an easier way to merge easein transitions with dissolve without having chars get stuck in alpha changes during skipping? Thanks!

Try it using ATL only

Code: Select all

   
 show Emily neutral:
        offscreenleft
        alpha 0.0
        easein 1.0 xalign 0.5 alpha 1.0

Thanks! What do you mean ATL only though?

I found this line of code in an older thread, and it works beautifully too.

Code: Select all

define dissolveleft = ComposeTransition(dissolve, before=easeoutright, after=easeinleft)
define dissolveright = ComposeTransition(dissolve, before=easeoutleft, after=easeinright)

Thanks for the help!

Animation and Transformation Language (http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/ref ... n_Language) code usually doesn't interrupt game flow. That's the problem you have found with the old transitions.
