Animations repeat on hide

[Ultra_HR]

Hi all,

Yet another question with a most likely simple answer but I'm too stupid to work it out myself.

So, I have a transform set up like this:

Code: Select all

transform slideinhl:
    on show:
        alpha 0.0 xalign 0.0
        easein 0.5 alpha 1.0 xalign 0.25
    on hide:
        easein 0.5 alpha 0.0 xalign 0.0

and it's used in the script like this:

Code: Select all

show m grin at slideinhl

m grin open "What were you hangin' around for? Can't be that -"
show m confused open
extend " Oh..."
show m confused

"Mitchell pauses in his tracks, with much the same expression as I must have had as he stares up at the towering forest."

hide m

But that comes out like this: https://youtu.be/XlKat4pLpbU

Something that does fix this problem is having "at slideinhl" after every show - but then if you click through the dialogue before the first on show is completed, the animation is repeated.

I'm certain I'm doing something stupid, but I don't know what it is. Any help?

Thanks.

This seems like an issue with the image being replaced with tags. That said, I can't think of any particularly nice way to deal with this other than to simply bifurcate the process -- which isn't ideal, but hopefully not too much of a burden.

If anyone else has a better idea, by all means.

Code: Select all

transform slideinhl:
    alpha 0.0 xalign 0.0
    easein 0.5 alpha 1.0 xalign 0.25
transform slideouthl:    
    easein 0.5 alpha 0.0 xalign 0.0

## 

show m grin at slideinhl

m grin open "What were you hangin' around for? Can't be that -"
show m confused open
extend " Oh..."
show m confused

"Mitchell pauses in his tracks, with much the same expression as I must have had as he stares up at the towering forest."

show m at slideouthl # instead of hide, show with the slideout transform

"blah blah"

hide m # not hiding images can affect performance if there are a lot of them, but you have to wait for the slide out to finish -- otherwise, it will hide instantaneously.

Mmhmm, this is the solution I've ended up using. Not the most elegant, but that'll probably have to do it. Thanks for your help!
