Animated choice menus

Hi all,

I'm sure I saw a post on this once upon a time but I cannot find it anywhere... Anyway! I was wondering if and how it's possible to animate the choice menu?

At certain points of my game it gets tense, so I've love to be able to rattle the buttons (including the text) so they're slightly harder to click on.

I'm also thinking about floaty thought bubble buttons at other points of the game. I imagine it'll use similar code to the rattle effect. However, how would I be able to define and call different menus? It'd be great to have the default choice menu, rattle choice menu and cloud choice menu.

Thanks!

The latest patreon post (feb 2019) should be a good place to start.

That topic may have what you're looking for in it. It gives you various methods of applying ATL to the choice menu.

For variety you should be able to define several menu_window styles and use a variable to have the game pick the one you want to use.
