[SOLVED]help needed time duration on flipping character sprites

[thomas_oak]

I am trying to work out how to transition a character sprite when flipping from one direction to another to take say 0.5 seconds instead of instantly. I use this to flip

Code: Select all

transform xflip:
     xzoom -1

then

Code: Select all

    show eileen at xflip

I am sure it is glaringly simple, but the three ways i have tried are either ignored or throw up errors.

Many thanks

Maybe pauses works?

Code: Select all

with pause

or

Code: Select all

$ renpy.pause(1.0, hard=True)

Oh maybe I didn't explain it well enough. I want the character sprite to take time in the actual flip, so it looks like it is rotating. I have seen it used often in other people's games.

Maybe you can take a look at this.

It said it has like a time on in transforms on it, it may help you.


(Basically dont know about ATL's.)

Code: Select all

transform xflip(duration=0.5):
    xzoom 1.0
    linear duration xzoom -1.0

Many thanks Remix. That was exactly what I was looking for.
