Fireflies particles in RenPy?

[EasyRhysie]

Hi there again! New question here: I wanted to create a fireflies (or glowing dust) effect for my game, basing on the More realistic snow effect, but the problem is... Well, the particles doesn't fly like they should.
By default, they fly from the top of the screen and down, and it's fine for the snow, BUT I have no idea how to make particles float like the real fireflies or dust that you can see in the sunlight in the morning. Like on this video for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EMlyedFgFg or like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LdcqoY0_ZM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ZkZazfvao
So, more natural.
I do not know if you can help, I will be very grateful.

The Snowblossom function can move things in any direction.

SnowBlossom(d, count=10, border=50, xspeed=(20, 50), yspeed=(100, 200), start=0, fast=False, horizontal=False)

by changing the yspeed values you can go from bottom to top. (.100, -200 in that given case).

But... In your examples there are parallax effects.
So I suggest you to open the Tutorial game, go to the tutorial_sprites.rpy and see how the parallax starfield was done, copying it and changing values as needed.

So, EasyRhysiem, have you managed to make fireflies flying? If yes, please share the result =)

This is what I used for a firefly particle effect, I hope it could help you guys out!

Code: Select all

init:     
	transform blink:
       		linear 1.0 alpha 0.0
        	linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
        	repeat

	image fireflies= SnowBlossom(At("images/particle.png", blink), border=150, count=6000, start=0.00000000001, fast=False,  yspeed=(-100, -80),  xspeed=(-200,200), horizontal=True)

label:
	scene bg park
	show fireflies
	"There are fireflies here"
	return
