ATL - Character Walks Past You While Dissolving (solved)

#1 Post by sheetcakeghost »

So I was playing Duel Love (don't judge me) and they have an effect in the game where the sprite moves towards you and to your left while dissolving giving the illusion of walking past you. The second I saw that I thought "man, I bet I could do that with ATL". So I tried. And I've failed miserably at it.

Code: Select all

transform zoomer:
        size (1280, 720) crop (0, 150, 400, 300)
        linear 2.0 crop (0, 0, 800, 600)

define walkpast = ComposeTransition(dissolve, before=zoomer)
That's the code I put together, but when I use it I get the "new_widget not known by ATL" error.

Considering I have no idea what I'm actually doing I thought one of you lovely folks might be willing to help me out.

Probably because you are using really outdated code. Im not even sure that IS ATL.

It would be done something more like:

Code: Select all

transform zoomer:
    ease 1.0 xalign 0.2 yalign 1.1 zoom 1.2 alpha 0.0

hide person at zoomer

Yep, that would probably be it! I feel like a dummy forgetting that "alpha" exists and trying to compose the zoom into a transition so I can use dissolve.

Thanks loads!
