[SOLVED] Showing repeat Text() with CPS again?

[017Bluefield]

So I don't know if this has been addressed already, but I can't seem to find anything on this.

I'm trying to use the same Text() displayables over and over, which includes their cps. The problem is, while it works the first time it's shown, after it's hidden and shown again, it displays the Text() without the cps playing again. Am I missing something obvious?

Code: Select all

    image exceed_drive = Text("Exceed Drive:", color="#F669", size=27, bold=False, text_align=0.5, slow_cps=24)
    image exceed_drive howling_shot = Text("Howling Shot", color="#F33C", size=27, bold=True, text_align=0.5, slow_cps=60)

Code: Select all

    show exceed_drive at truecenter
    pause 2.0
    show exceed_drive howling_shot
    pause 1.8
    hide exceed_drive with dissolve
    
    ...
    
    show exceed_drive at truecenter
    pause 2.0
    show exceed_drive howling_shot
    pause 1.8
    hide exceed_drive with dissolve

Though it takes a little more typing, you can get around it by having the text as a function return:

Code: Select all

init python:

    def exceed_drive():
        return Text("Exceed Drive", color="#F669", size=27, bold=False, text_align=0.5, slow_cps=24)

    def howling_shot():
        return Text("Howling Shot", color="#F33C", size=27, bold=True, text_align=0.5, slow_cps=60)

label start:

    show expression exceed_drive() as ed at truecenter
    pause 2.0
    hide ed with dissolve
    show expression howling_shot() as hs at truecenter
    pause 1.8
    hide hs with dissolve
    
    "..."

    show expression exceed_drive() as ed at truecenter
    pause 2.0
    hide ed with dissolve
    show expression howling_shot() as hs at truecenter
    pause 1.8
    hide hs with dissolve

Alternatively, the on show seems to get it working.

Code: Select all

image exceed_drive:
    truecenter
    on show:
        Text("Exceed Drive:", color="#F669", size=27, bold=False, text_align=0.5, slow_cps=24)
image howling_shot:
    truecenter
    on show:
        Text("Howling Shot", color="#F33C", size=27, bold=True, text_align=0.5, slow_cps=60)
    
label start:
    show exceed_drive
    pause 2.0
    hide exceed_drive
    show howling_shot
    pause 1.8
    hide howling_shot with dissolve
    
    show exceed_drive
    pause 2.0
    hide exceed_drive
    show howling_shot
    pause 1.8
    hide howling_shot with dissolve

You can also define the position in the image so you don't have to type it every time.
