Quaking Dissolve

[Meinos Kaen]

Good afternoon from Italy!

So, as I was coding for my Visual Novel, I realized that I need a particular kind of transitions to make the monster enemies killed by the main characters disappear.

What I was thinking of was a transition that makes the sprite shake while dissolving. Can this be done? And if so, with what kind of code?

You want an ATL transform.

Something like:

Code: Select all

transform blast:
        alpha 1.0 xoffset 0
        choice:
            block:
                linear 0.05 xoffset 10
                linear 0.05 xoffset -10
                repeat 2
            block:    
                choice:
                    linear 0.05 xoffset 10
                    linear 0.05 xoffset -10
                    repeat 2
                choice:
                    linear 0.05 xoffset 10
                    linear 0.05 xoffset -10
                    linear 0.05 xoffset 10                    
                    repeat 2
        choice:
            block:
                linear 0.05 xoffset -10
                linear 0.05 xoffset 10
                repeat 2
            block:
                choice:
                    linear 0.05 xoffset -10
                    linear 0.05 xoffset 10
                    repeat 2        
                choice:
                    linear 0.05 xoffset -10                    
                    linear 0.05 xoffset 10
                    linear 0.05 xoffset -10
                    repeat 2
        linear 0.07 xoffset 0
        linear 2.0 alpha .0 # two seconds to dissolve

You can use it this way:

Code: Select all

    play sound "fx/blast.ogg"
    show monster at blast, center #center, or any other screen position the monster was located before being "blasted"
    m "Argh!"
    hide monster # don't forget to actually hide it, to free memory

I like to create a separate script called transforms.rpy, and put my special effects there.

Hi, thanks for the answer!

Sadly it doesn't work :/ The game crashes when it tries to do your thing.

Of course it works, I've used that code myself. What exactly "The game crashes" means?

Huh. Weird. I tried using it again and now it works. Nevermind
