Combine renpy.show with 'on show'

[Rainz]

See code below. This works great. Shows the background image, with the 'on show' zoom effect. All good!

Code: Select all

image bg someplace_empty_day = 'someplace_empty_day.jpg'
scene bg someplace_empty_day
    on show:
        zoom 1.0
        ease 10 zoom 1.05
        zoom 1.05
        ease 10 zoom 1.0
        repeat

However... i'm calling certain backgrounds with variables within a python block using renpy.show - like this:

Code: Select all

python:
    renpy.scene()  
    renpy.show('bg ' + player.location + '_empty_' + timeState)

This works perfect. Just it's without the on show effect.

So my question is, how can i add an 'on show' effect within the python block code? Is this possible?

Tried creating a custom transform like:

Code: Select all

transform show_bg:
    on show:
        zoom 1.0
        ease 10 zoom 1.05
        zoom 1.05
        ease 10 zoom 1.0
        repeat

Then calling either

Code: Select all

renpy.transition(show_bg)
Or
renpy.with_statement(show_bg)

but neither seem to work. Any help appreciated!

Code: Select all

init:
    transform show_bg:
        on show:
            zoom 1.0
            ease 10 zoom 1.05
            zoom 1.05
            ease 10 zoom 1.0
            repeat
...
label x:
...
    $ renpy.scene()
    $ renpy.show('bg someplace_empty_day',at_list=[show_bg]) #show_bg WITHOUT "-symbol, because he must return an ATLTransform object.

Thanks, Vladimir_P! Works prefect.

It's my pleasure.
