Problem with ATL of Main Menu Imagebutton [SOLVED]

[mitoky]

EDIT: Opening again due to new problem (look at the last message)
EDIT 2: Solved!

Hello!
I am new to coding so the solution might be simple but i simply can't seem to find it, hence i hope someone can help me.

For the main menu i have imagebuttons which i want to slide to the right slightly when hovered and back when unhovered. So far i only tested it with the start button and it works.

My problem is that teh button jumps to it's place very quickly when launching the project or entering the main menu after the game end. So my question is how to make the button already be at the right place?

The coding i used:

Code: Select all

transform slide:
    on hover:
        linear 0.3 xpos 205 ypos 471
    on idle:
        linear 0.3 xpos 105 ypos 471
        
imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/start_%s.png" xpos 105 ypos 471 focus_mask True at slide action Start()

Could try:

Code: Select all

transform slide:
    on show:
        xpos 105 ypos 471
    on idle:
        linear 0.3 xpos 105
    on hover:
        linear 0.3 xpos 205
        
imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/start_%s.png" focus_mask True at slide action Start()

Doesn't works ;-;
I tried using show before but i have the feeling (and tried it out to confirm too) that it does nothing.

Do you mind dropping the project or just the start menu part here? It would be easier for me to figure out in this case. Just not enough info to guess the issue. I tried it on a new project with no problem.

Exactly as i have it in my project:

Code: Select all

transform slide:
    on show:
        xpos 105 ypos 471
    on idle:
        linear 0.3 xpos 105
    on hover:
        linear 0.3 xpos 205
    

screen main_menu():

    ## This ensures that any other menu screen is replaced.
    tag menu

    style_prefix "main_menu"

    add gui.main_menu_background
    
    ##Main Menu Buttons

    imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/start_%s.png" focus_mask True at slide action Start()
    imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/album_%s.png" xpos 105 ypos 618 focus_mask True action ShowMenu("common_p1")
    imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/settings_%s.png" xpos 105 ypos 765 focus_mask True action ShowMenu("preferences")
    imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/load_%s.png" xpos 594 ypos 539 focus_mask True action ShowMenu("load")
    ##action none as no screen for extras yet
    imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/extras_%s.png" xpos 594 ypos 686 focus_mask True action None
    imagebutton auto "gui/custom/mmbuttons/exit_%s.png" xpos 594 ypos 833 focus_mask True action Quit(confirm=False)

Code: Select all

transform slide:
    xpos 105 ypos 471
    on idle:
        linear 0.3 xpos 105
    on hover:
        linear 0.3 xpos 205

It works! Thank you so much! You are a life saver (:

Hello! So using the methods above, i ahve amnaged to make my screens animated, however i encountered 2 small problems.

In my gallery for example, i have the screen slightly build up through ATL.
Also, my gallery is more than one screen. A Common Page and then one per each charcater.
The first page you see it the common gallery, hence i set it up that the screen sets up when showing that screen (button's sliding in as in above and out again when unhovered).

I noticed that if i click a diffrent character page the atl transformation for the button gets cut off/ the setup animation. I was wondering if its possible to advoid that, and if yes how?

EDIT: I just had the idea to simply make the animation a diffrent screen and simply gall the gallery screens. I am testing it out rn.

Solved my problem. I simply made the buttons on a seperate screen and voila, it works.
