(SOLVED) Animated/Transitioning Menus

[ZeroQ]

Hello.

I've seen this done in a lot of Ren'py projects, but I just can't figure out how to do it myself. When the time comes in the game to make a choice, the menu dissolves onto the screen. In some games, the separate choices will move in from opposite parts of the screen. Sometimes both.

How would I go about making something like this?

It's probably a lot easier than I think, but any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to make an ATL transform, then add it to the window/button/whatever in the screens file.

Alright, well my scripting skills are pretty limited.
How would I set it up so that the menu choices dissolve onto and off of the screen?

Transform for dissolve:

Code: Select all

transform alphadissolve:
   alpha 0
   linear 1.0 alpha 1.0

Transform for sliding onscreen:

Code: Select all

transform leftslide:
   xalign -0.5
   linear 1.0 xalign 0.5

And to add it to a screen:

Code: Select all

screen stuff:
   window "blabla" at alphadissolve:
      screen goes here

And to add it to a screen:

Code: Select all

screen stuff:
   window "blabla" at alphadissolve:
      screen goes here

What do I put in place of "blabla" and "screen goes here"?

That's just an example. Find the screen you want, and then find the element you want to add the transform to, like "imagebutton" or "vbox", then add "at (transform)"

Alright, now I see where I was getting confused. I've got it working now.
Thanks a lot!
