Making characters flip when changing expressions

[metapropanium]

Yeah, if you played "Sonic Battle" for GBA you know what I'm talking about. Basically, to make this happen on every expression change (like a cardboard figure flipping over):

transform flip:
linear 0.2 xzoom 0.0
[[change picture]]
linear 0.2 xzoom 1.0

That's easy to implement as an ATL, but I was asking to implement it like this:

g happy "sample text" with flip

or something like that. (If there is any way to change the default transition, it would help a lot too)

Code: Select all

 g happy "Let's try this."
g "Here we go...":
xzoom -1
g happy "...and now we go back":
xzoom 1

[gas]

Code: Select all

 g happy "Let's try this."
g "Here we go...":
xzoom -1
g happy "...and now we go back":
xzoom 1

mmm...no.

Define some transform at the start of the script.

Code: Select all

transform myflip: #flipped image
    xzoom -1
transform mybackflip: #back to normal
    xzoom 1

then in your script...

Code: Select all

    show sanichegehog at myflip
    e "Look, I'm flipped!"
    show sanichegehog at mybackflip
    e "Back to normal"
