Animated layeredimage without repeat

[Exiscoming]

So I asked this question a few days ago and got an answer, but I've run into a new problem.

Code: Select all

image enemy1:
	"enemy1.png"
	alpha 0.0
	linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
	repeat				# <- The problem

layeredimage battle:
	always:
		"background1.jpg"
	if enemy1 == 1:
		"enemy1"  xalign 0.5 yalign 0.7

label start:
	show battle
	$ enemy1 = 1			# enemy is introduced into the battle

I would like an enemy to fade in during battle and that works with the above code.
The problem is the repeat. Obviously the enemy only had to fade into the scene 1 time, however the above code doesn't work without the repeat.
Instead it instantly jumps to alpha 1.0 without waiting one second.

Do you need an "on show" statement here? Like:

Code: Select all

image enemy1:
	"enemy1.png"
	on show:
		alpha 0.0
		linear 1.0 alpha 1.0
