Renpy 6.99.4.467

I'd like help with the polar coordinate functions of ATL. Specifically I'd like to make a spiral burst pattern like this:

I've managed to get this far:

Using this code:

Code: Select all

    show cloud:
        around (.5,.5)
        xpos 0.5 ypos 0.5 xanchor 0.5 yanchor 0.5
        linear 2 clockwise circles .25 ypos 0.75
        repeat 
    
    show cloud2:
        around (.5,.5)
        xpos 0.5 ypos 0.5 xanchor 0.5 yanchor 0.5
        linear 2 clockwise circles .25 xpos 0.25
        repeat 
        
    show cloud3:
        around (.5,.5)
        xpos 0.5 ypos 0.5 xanchor 0.5 yanchor 0.5 
        linear 2 clockwise circles .25 ypos 0.25
        repeat 
        
    show cloud4:
        around (.5,.5)
        xpos 0.5 ypos 0.5 xanchor 0.5 yanchor 0.5 
        linear 2 clockwise circles .25 xpos 0.75
        repeat

Notice that the clouds appear to travel different distances, I would like them to all travel the same distance.

I think I need to somehow set the initial angle of the circles, but I'm not sure how to do that.

I'd suggest using the angle and radius properties to set the initial position, rather than xpos and ypos.

Thanks for your help, Tom. When I set the radius to 0 it doesn't actually set it, but setting it to something tiny like 0.01 works.
