[Solved] How to wipe from center?

[unregistered]

I need to create a transition that's wiping from center. So starting from the middle of the screen and wiping left and right simulanteously. By default, Renpy only supports wiping in one directions at once.

I managed to wipe with this simple ATL:

Code: Select all

"image"
    size (1,1080) crop (960,0,1,1080)
    ease 1.0 size (1920,1080) crop (0,0,1920,1080)

However, now I'm not sure how to use this as a possible transition over my screens. Using alpha 0.0 here just makes my whole image dissapear, not just the parts that are not wiped, yet. Not using alpha makes the image below disappear and wipe from black. So what I need is having everything outside the crop be an alpha.

So my question is: What's the best way to achieve such a wipe from center? Can anyone help me?

The ATL code was posted above. I actually didn't do much more then showing it on top of the the image to be wiped over. ATL just didn't preserved the alpha.


However, I just realized, that CropMove() actually allows for the definition of a custom Crop-Move transition. So it's actually much easier. This just gave me a new wipecenter transition without any issues:

Code: Select all

define wipecenter = CropMove(1.0, mode="custom", startcrop=(0.5, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0), startpos=(0.5, 0.0), endcrop=(0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0), endpos=(0.0, 0.0), topnew=True)

This also does preserve the alpha like it should and works much more fluent.

But thanks anyway! Greatly appreaciated!
