Say screen what transition?

[fullmontis]

Is it possible to change the transition of the content of the say window (the "what")? I am not talking about when the screen appears or disappears, but when the text is changed, like when the mouse is clicked to progress the story. I would like it to dissolve between lines.

I tried this but does not seem to work:

Code: Select all

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"

    window:
        id "window"

        if who is not None:

            window:
                id "namebox"
                style "namebox"
                text who id "who" 

        text what at what_transf id "what" 

transform what_transf:
    on show:
        alpha 0.0
        linear 0.3 alpha 1.0
    on hide:
        linear 0.3 alpha 0.0

try:

Code: Select all

    window:
        id "window"
        at what_transf
        ...

but I should warn you, too much transitions can become extremely annoying very fast, I suggest using CPS instead

I can confirm that the effects can get annoying quite quickly... Is there a way to toggle them so they only show up when asked? For example, at the start of a new scene?

Also, I have a similar effect in my game which replays the transition when a wait {w=1} is used. Is there a way to stop it from doing this?

you can make a screen with the animation and play that animation whenever you want by showing the screen manually, I've searched for a long time and there's no simple solution to it

You can fake it. Show the textbox and text as an image and dissolve in when necessary.
Remember to hide the real say window first.

I like this sneaky tactic, haha!
