How to make 'show screen' use dissolve transition?

[henvu50]

Code: Select all

show screen customScreen1 with dissolve

Why doesn't this work?

How do I get show screen to use a transition?

[TAEKO]

Can I see your screen?
and the traceback?

Maybe this:

Code: Select all

$ renpy.transition(dissolve)
show screen customScreen1

This is kind of a trick to make renpy show a transition and then directly show the screen. However it's not perfect as the entire screen will transition (other elements will transition too along with the dissolve)

A perhaps better alternative could be to use ATL (with alpha property) directly with the screen displayables:

Code: Select all

#A transform that replicates the dissolve effect
transform dissolve_with_atl(time):

    alpha 0
    linear time alpha 1

#Your screen
screen customScreen1():

    fixed:   #we create a fixed to containt the screen's displayables
        at dissolve_with_atl(1) #and put it 'at' the transform created above
        
        text "Hello" size 50 align (.5,.5) #some displayables for testing
        

Then in your script:

Code: Select all

show screen customScreen1
