Help needed with animations [Solved]

#1 Post by shahab96 »

Ok this is a complicated problem (at least for me).
What I want to do is basically show these images in order from a list starting from Frame.png to Frame9.png with a 0.5 second delay in between each.

These will actually be the background for a Frame which will contain buttons. I want only the Frame to do the animation and not the buttons. It should pass under them. :? :? :? I want it to look basically like a glass sheet shining under the buttons. Here are the images in order.

I'm hoping that this is possible using screen language. But if not then I'm fine using normal renpy language as well. But please somebody tell me how to do this.

You can make an animated image using ATL and then use it as background to your frame

Code: Select all

init:
    image glass_bg:
        "Frame.png"
        0.1
        "Frame1.png"
        0.1
        "Frame2.png"
        0.1
        "Frame3.png"
        0.1
        "Frame4.png"
        0.1
        "Frame5.png"
        0.1
        "Frame6.png"
        0.1
        "Frame7.png"
        0.1
        "Frame8.png"
        0.1
        "Frame9.png"
        1.5
        repeat
screen my_scr:
    frame:
        background Frame("glass_bg", 10, 10)
        xpos  500
        xpadding 100
        ypadding 20
        #xalign 0.5
        #yalign 0.5
        textbutton "Test" action Return(True)
label start:
    show screen my_scr
    "Well..."
