[SOLVED]Remove pause between transition and dialogue?

#1 Post by rusicaria »

Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove the pause between a transition, and the continuation of dialogue? basically to add a transition over the dialogue without stopping it:essentially, showing an image with a transition, but with there being no pause in the textbox.

Example:

Code: Select all

"narration"

show image with dissolve
#text shouldn't disappear during transition, and players can continue clicking through the narration

"narration continues"

hide image with dissolve
#basically these transitions do NOT interrupt with the text box, more like a background pop-up/notification that 
fades in and fades out alone
I don't know if that made sense or not. Any help is appreciated!

Use dict transitions for that:

Code: Select all

"Some text"
show cat with {"master": dissolve}
"This text is displayed while image is dissolving in"

Thank you so much, I feel silly because it felt like such a simple thing that I couldn't figure out! I'll look into dict transitions!
