ATL image statements in main menu

[Scribbles]

How would you add an image with ATL statements into the main menu?

Code: Select all

add good_morning

doesn't work because it says image it not defined

Code: Select all

 add image good_morning

doesn't work (i thought I'd give it a try lol)

Is there documentation I'm missing that tells you how to do this in screen language? I searched the issue but didn't find anything solid (unless I missed something?)

my image:

Code: Select all

image good_morning:
    contains:
        "images/graphics/morning_base.png"

    contains:
        "images/graphics/morning_lit.png"
        linear 0.0 alpha 0.25
        linear 0.1 alpha 1.0
        linear 0.2 alpha 0.5
        linear 0.3 alpha 1.0
        linear 0.4 alpha 0.5
        linear 0.5 alpha 1.0
        repeat 2

(the atl part is a WIP just... fyi lol - I'm still trying to get it to display exactly how I want it to)

it works great inside the code with(though I have to add a pause to allow the image to display in the time I want it - but again I'm still reading through ATL and messing with it)

Code: Select all

 show good_morning with dissolve

I also tried defining the images in a -1 init python block, but I got the invalid syntax error ^^;;;;

help? Is it just not possible right now? (I'm using the latest Renpy, but not any of the nightly builds)

You could try and declare the image as an atl statement:

Code: Select all

transform good_morning:
    contains:
        "morning_base.png"

    contains:
        "morning_lit.png"
        linear 0.0 alpha 0.25
        linear 0.1 alpha 1.0
        linear 0.2 alpha 0.5
        linear 0.3 alpha 1.0
        linear 0.4 alpha 0.5
        linear 0.5 alpha 1.0
        repeat 2

And then use the add statement normally in the screen.

I think I did this before and it worked, give it a try?
