Question about animations (or something)

#1 Post by Serkai »

I had a dream!
A dream concerning a whale, a washing machine and the big, blue sky!
A dream that has NOTHING to do with why I'm making a topic here on the forums.

Ahem, let's say I want to have a clickable map in my game.
Them lets say I want certain parts of that map to animate when the mouse is hovering above them (ex: a tower representing the mage guild, and while the mouse is hovering above the tower, it pulsates(grows alittle, then reverts back to original size, and then repeating this)).

Would this be possible?

Yes, more or less. renpy.imagemap takes arbitrary displayables, so you could use an animation or something like that to handle it.
