Image transition with text

[Skyleft]

I want to do a transition with two images, but while the transition is happening (it would be a long one) I'd like to put text in the middle.
Is that possible?

Yes, it can be done and in many ways. I don't know if that's what you want, but that's how I would do it :
- For the text, I would use the centered character

Code: Select all

init:
    define centered = Character(None, what_style="centered_text", window_style="centered_window")

- Then I would define the first image:

Code: Select all

image one = "one.jpg"

- The second image would be defined as an ATL block:

Code: Select all

image two:
    "two.jpg"
    alpha 0.0
    pause 5.0                      #will wait n seconds before appearing, you may adjust this time
    linear 20.0 alpha 1.0          # will slowly appear taking n seconds

Then let's call the scene (and see if it works ):

Code: Select all

scene one
show two
centered "Blah blah blah blahv blah blahv blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blahvv blahv blah blah blah blah blah blah blah."

You don't need to use the 'centered' character. If you use other character for the text, your dialogue box will appear over the image transition.

This almost works, but when the second image is going to appear, the first one disappears instantly and the second one appears from nowhere

I did a test before posting, and it worked for me.
