[Solved] Looking for the right event handler for a transform

[Adrian_DVL]

Hi!

Okay, so in a nutshell: I have a screen with an imagebutton that changes a variable. When that variable changes, some images in the screen are replaced by others with the same size and in the same position. So far, so good: the player clicks a button and some of the images in the screen may change due to a variable changing its value.

What I want to do is to make a 'pulse' effect that makes the images that are replaced for others to zoom in and out in a second, IF AND ONLY IF they're actually replaced, since the screen has more buttons that may change other variables or may do nothing. I have this transform with no event handler at all. I tried some event handlers with no success:

Code: Select all

transform res(rxs, rys, rxp, ryp):
        size (rxs, rys)
        pos (rxp, ryp)
        easeout 0.1 pos (rxp-8, ryp-8) size (rxs+12, rys+12)
        easein 0.05 pos (rxp, ryp) size (rxs, rys)

I necessarily have to pass the size and the position of the images as parameters, since there are a bunch of those images on the screen. Now this is the animation I want for my images but, as I said, I want this to be executed ONLY when the player clicks a specific button on the screen ONLY for the image or images that are replaced due to the change of the variable that the button causes. I tell this because I've tried using 'on update', which is the most obvious event handler for this case, but with it, ALL the images that have 'at res' zoom in and out at once, no matter which button the player clicked and whether or not a variable changed, and not just the ones replaced due to the variable change, which is what I want.

So any ideas? I want only the images that are replaced due to a variable change to zoom in and out when the player clicks a button. I'd post an example of one of the buttons and one of the images, but I thought this would be simpler.

Hi, Adrian_DVL,

That's doable, although there is no straightforward way to achieve it (there is no magic event handler that solves all your problems).
I think this post may give you some ideas.

That post gave me an idea, and I set a net of variables that are used to tell the game whether a button has been clicked and when the rest of the buttons are not selected. The thing is that I had to create a class with one parameter per type of variable and a function that sets everything to False to be executed upon clicking every button before setting the pertinent parameter to True, due to the complexity of the screen, but I'm good to go now, so thanks!
