Combining Flash and Shake effects when damaged?

[Plioket]

Hello! I'm new to the forums and Ren'Py itself.
I'm currently making a game that has a really simple battle scene where you (as the player) will choose from 4 different moves and attack the opponent. When dealing damage/or when you're attacked, the screen shakes while flash is going on (and an attack sound effect will occur).
It's similar to Anghel's battle in Hatoful Boyfriend (Link is a bit spoilery) https://youtu.be/7AaNUyZYpTo?t=42s

I tried to make an init block to combine a shake effect with flash, but in the game, one effect would work while the other one wouldn't.

Code: Select all

init:
    define fflash = Fade(0.1, 0.0, 0.5, color="#fff")
init:
    $ sshake = Shake((0, 0, 0, 0), 1.0, dist=15)

init:
    define flash = Fade(.25, 0.0, .25, color="#fff")
    define quickflash = Fade(0.1, 0.0, 0.5, color="#fff")
    define attack = ComposeTransition(sshake, quickflash)

So I tried using an ATL code I found while looking for answers and I got a error message instead everytime I use 'at' instead of 'with.' I've looked over other forum posts/discussion, but none of them helped me solve my problem...
Thank you :U

Shake transform I'm using.

Code: Select all

init -1 python:
    
    def _shake_function(trans, st, at, dt=.5, dist=64):
       #dt is duration timebase, dist is maximum shake distance in pixel
        if st <= dt: 
            trans.xoffset = int((dt-st)*dist*(.5-renpy.random.random())*2)
            trans.yoffset = int((dt-st)*dist*(.5-renpy.random.random())*2)
            return 1.0/60
        else:
            return None

transform shake(t=.5, d=64):
    function renpy.curry(_shake_function)(dt=t, dist=d)

I've been looking at this for a few days and I don't think I'm doing this right since I'm pretty new to Ren'Py and coding in general.
I don't know how to add the flash and shake to ATL transitions or coding ATL transitions in general.......

Code: Select all

transform attack(new_widget, old_widget):
    delay 0

    old_widget 
    fflash
    
    new_widget
    sshake

Is there a way to combine https://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/doc/co ... ake_effect with a simple flash effect?
Like I did find an ATL shake transition where the screen keeps shaking but that's not what I want. I just want a shake that has one flash happening simultaneously in a few seconds. A little help please? I just need to know how to do this to finish my game..........

Found this ancient thread about this issue and I solved it with solution like this:

Defined an image sequence like this:

Code: Select all

    image testbg:
        "testbg1.png"
        pause 0.05
        "testbg2.png"
        pause 0.05
        "red.png"
        pause 0.05
        "testbg3.png"
        pause 0.05
        "black.png" with fade

testbg1 is clear bg
testbg2 is bg with 50% red overlay
red is 100% red image
testbg3 is bg with blood on it
black is 100% black

And in the script I used:

Code: Select all

show testbg with vpunch

So it flashes to red once while shaking and fades in black.

Epilepsy warning if someone uses this.
