Character dialogue transitions

[strayerror]

I have a character where I'd like their dialogue lines to dissolve in and then back out on dismiss.

I know it's possible to dissolve in a specific line (by appending the with clause), but ideally I'd like to specify this in the character definition, and have it apply on dismiss to dissolve out too.

I was hoping something like the below would work, but no joy. Has anyone had cause for this sort of thing before and have a good solution? Thaaanks! :D

Code: Select all

transform barry_dialogue:
    on show, appear:
        alpha 0.
        linear 1. alpha 1.
    on hide:
        alpha 1.
        linear 1. alpha 0.

define barry = Character('Barry', what_at_list=[barry_dialogue])

label start:
    barry "Hello there, hopefully my words have dissolved in, and in a moment will dissolve away again!"

I dont think it can be only done with this.. maybe you can search out for character transition function.

You can do this for all charcaters if you want.

Code: Select all

label start:
    window show with dissolve
    "A text with transition" with dissolve
    "Maybe fade works too." with fade 

If not, maybe somebody can help you out.
