Can you skip a transform within a screen?

When 'skipping' is enabled it doesn't seem to be able to skip a transform that is running within a Screen, e.g. in the following example there seems no way to skip the 5 second animation once it has been started:

Code: Select all

image background = 'images/background.png'
image placeholder = Placeholder()

transform test_transform(start_at, move_to, seconds):
    xpos start_at
    easein seconds xpos move_to            

screen test_screen():
    default move_to = 0

    fixed:
        add 'background'
        vbox:
            textbutton 'Move' action SetScreenVariable('move_to', 200)
            textbutton 'Return' action Return()
            add 'placeholder' at test_transform(0, move_to, 5)

# The game starts here.
label start:
    call screen test_screen
    return

Is there any way that skipping can jump the placeholder to the transform destination, or would I have to edit the transform object while it is running to try and achieve the same result? I'm looking to get ready for the next interaction, rather than just exit the screen early.

Thank you for reading.

Maybe set the seconds based upon renpy.get_skipping()

add 'placeholder' at test_transform( 0, move_to, 5 if not renpy.get_skipping() else 0 )

That worked well, until skipping mode is turned off and the transform gets reset (xpos jumps back to 0).
This seems to fix that:

Code: Select all

add 'placeholder' at test_transform(test_transform.xpos, move_to, 5 if not renpy.get_skipping() else 0)

Thank you for the pointer though, I hadn't considered that I could pass any expression as a parameter.

... and I had no idea you could reference an attribute from a transform so easily. That might well come in useful

We've both learned something, yay
