How modify alpha value?

[MarFazzo]

Hi all, i am new to Ren'Py. I wrote this code:

Code: Select all

image image1= im.Scale("image1.png",150,150)
init:
     $ esubtitle = Character(None, what_size=34, what_outlines=[(1, "#fff", 0, 0)], what_text_align=0, window_background="#f7b916", window_yminimum=150, window_right_padding=180, window_xfill=True, window_xalign=0.0)

# The game starts here.
label start:

     scene black
     show image1 at Position(xpos=0.995, xanchor=1.0, ypos=0.80, yanchor=0.0) as image1
     esubtitle "My first test"

     return

but the "image1" is displayed under the "esubtitle". How can I modify the alpha value of "image1"?

Thanks in advance

There's an alpha variable when showing images using ATL

alpha
Type: float
Default: 1.0
This controls the opacity of the displayable.

The alpha transform is applied to each image comprising the child of the transform independently. This can lead to unexpected results when the children overlap, such as as seeing a character through clothing. The Flatten() displayable can help with these problems.

I tried but "alpha" wasn't what i was searching for. In my example i want to overlap an image to the "character text window". I tried all but the caracter text window is ever above the image. How can i do this?

So, you want to put image1.png over the text box? Go into screens.rpy and add it to the screen say. You'll want something like:

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what, side_image=None, two_window=False):

    # Decide if we want to use the one-window or two-window variant.
    if not two_window:

        # The one window variant.
        window:
            id "window"

            has vbox:
                style "say_vbox"

            if who:
                text who id "who"

            text what id "what"

    else:

        # The two window variant.
        vbox:
            style "say_two_window_vbox"

            if who:
                window:
                    style "say_who_window"

                    text who:
                        id "who"

            window:
                id "window"

                has vbox:
                    style "say_vbox"

                text what id "what"

    # If there's a side image, display it above the text.
    if side_image:
        add side_image
    else:
        add SideImage() xalign 0.0 yalign 1.0

    add "image1.png" #other properties here

    # Use the quick menu.
    use quick_menu

And what can I do if the image is different in different scenes?

[chocojax]

Maybe you could use side images instead (http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/side_image.html) to show different overlaying images at different times?

Or, you could use variables and if/else statements in the screen to change it. (Not sure if this would work though, would test but I'm not able to use a computer at the moment.)

You're looking for layers. http://www.renpy.org/doc/html/displayin ... html#layer
