screen animation on return

[Anne]

I'd like the menu screens to slide up when returning to the game. How do I do that?
On show they slide down just fine with a transform, but what should I use for the opposite? (if I change return to hide it just closes the screen, without returning to the game)
Then there're config.transitions but slide moves the screen with the current game background (the screens are partially transparent), maybe I should use something else?

Try something like this but with your transform code:

Code: Select all

transform basicfade:
        on show:
            alpha 0.0
            linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
        on hide:
            linear 1.0 alpha 0.0     

You probably just need to add the 'on hide' line

edit** nevermind, I just realized you said you want it to slide up on hide. So make a new transform. I'm assuming you're using 'slidedown'? There is also a 'slideup'

"on hide" doesn't work if I use Return() and not hide and if I use hide the screen just closes without going back to the game

I tend to make my return look something like this:

Code: Select all

textbutton "Exit" action [Hide("screen_name_here"), Return()]

I wonder why this didn't work when I first tried it... Thank you.
