[Solved] fade transition not working as expected

[Imperf3kt]

I suspect, just like the wait tag and screen scaling, this error may be my computer.
None the less, I am unable to check at the moment, so I was wondering if anyone can explain this for me.

When I use this, everything works:

Code: Select all

    show kitchen with fade

However, I want the fade to take a bit longer, so I use this:

Code: Select all

    show kitchen with Fade(1.0)

And I get the following error:

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

While running game code:
  File "game/script.rpy", line 84, in script
    show kitchen with Fade(1.0)
TypeError: Fade() takes at least 3 arguments (3 given)

Anybody able to explain what is happening? I don't recall this ever happening before.
Dissolve(1.0) works fine, but that leaves the say window on screen and I want it to fade as well, hence why I wanted to use fade.

I am using a 9:16 resolution, and think that may be causing some of the issues I have seen with this project in particular.

Code: Select all

TypeError: Fade() takes at least 3 arguments (3 given)

As stated in the error message, Fade() needs 3 arguments, so 1 is not enough
(I remember having the same problem the first time I tried to define my own fades...)

See documentation https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/transitions.html#Fade

Fade(out_time, hold_time, in_time, color="#000")

Returns a transition that takes out_time seconds to fade to a screen filled with color, holds at that screen for hold_time seconds, and then takes in_time to fade to then new screen.

# Fade to black and back.
define fade = Fade(0.5, 0.0, 0.5)

# Hold at black for a bit.
define fadehold = Fade(0.5, 1.0, 0.5)

# Camera flash - quickly fades to white, then back to the scene.
define flash = Fade(0.1, 0.0, 0.5, color="#fff")

I've used both fade and Fade(1.0) in the past with no issue though. I think. Not so sure anymore.
The error message states "3 given", so I thought the arguments were all there in some default for Fade

Anyway, that definitely works now. Thanks.
I was looking at the wrong part of the documentation without realising it:
file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/renpy/renpy-6.99.14-sdk/doc/transitions.html?#var-fade

fade
Takes 0.5 seconds to fade to black, and then 0.5 seconds to fade to the new screen. An instance of the Fade() transition class.
