Dissolve that Doesn't Stop Game?

#1 Post by goldenphoenyyx »

I'm trying to have images dissolve in the background in a cycle. However when other actions are done it kind of pauses and waits to finish the dissolve so clicking doesn't work for a second. Is there a way around this?

Code: Select all

screen daynight:
	add "bg morning"
	$ renpy.transition(dissolve)

Dict transitions.

Another idea is to use an ATL transform instead of transitions, that are made specifically for a change in scene. WIth an ATL transform execution don't wait for inputs.
If you want to debate on a reply I gave to your posts, please QUOTE ME or i'll not be notified about. << now red so probably you'll see it.

10 ? "RENPY"
20 GOTO 10

RUN

Thanks! That worked but brought up a new problem- now when continuing through text, the dissolve skips and snaps to full opacity anyway.

Code: Select all

define dissolve_image = { "master" : Dissolve(1.0) }

screen daynight:
	add "bg morning"
	$ renpy.transition(dissolve_image)
I tried using atl but the alpha transition fades to black before it goes to the image rather than dissolve into the next one.
