Auto-forward text {w=1]{nw} flashing

[Kinmoku]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with some auto-forward text. I have a cut-scene which works in time to the music, but a flash occurs when the text windows disappear (I use a transform for this but it works fine until I use it with {w=}{p=} and {nw}). Is there another way to show auto-forward text? Or is this a Ren'Py glitch that needs to be fixed?

This is the animation/ transform I am using (works fine elsewhere):

Code: Select all

transform ffpopupcrop:
    subpixel True
    crop_relative True
    crop (0,0, 1.0, 1.0)

    on show:
        crop (0,0, 0.0, 0.0)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.2, 0.2)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.4, 0.4)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.6, 0.6)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.8, 0.8)
        pause 0.2
        crop(0,0, 1.0, 1.0)

    on hide:
        crop (0,0, 1.0, 1.0)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.8, 0.8)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.6, 0.6)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.4, 0.4)
        pause 0.2
        crop (0,0, 0.2, 0.2)
        pause 0.2
        crop(0,0, 0.0, 0.0)

These are the text boxes:

Code: Select all

    $ animate_textbox = "ff"
    h "I'm sorry, Master.{w=2.5}{nw}"
    h "You must leave now whilst you still can.{p=3.0}{nw}"

Inside screens.rpy, I have this:

Code: Select all

    window:
        id "window"
        background "gui bubble"
        
        if animate_textbox == "open":
            at bigbubble # This is used for the rest of the game: normal text boxes that do not contain {nw} or {w=}, and it works no problem...until I tested it with {nw} or {w=}, then it flashes as well
        elif animate_textbox == "ff":
            at ffpopupcrop

I really want to use auto-forward so this dialogue can to be timed with the music, though I may have to use images for this instead if it cannot be fixed or worked around.
