Helloo! I want to ask how i can make my own text tag, and how to make it shake/wobble around.
I'm working on a game, and in the first ever scene, the protagonist who doesn't know where they are. And i want to, kind of like, visualize the fear and confusion in their voice through the text.
I've already tried out this free .rpy script by Wattson on itch.io (Kinetic text tags). It has a shaky text tag, but it's not the kind i'm looking for.
It's too intense, and i was leaning more on the effect on Dead plate, or Elevator hitch (Gif examples below). There was also "Fancytext", and it was exactly what i wanted, but it didn't work, or it was outdated.
So i thought of maybe making a text tag of my own? It would be really nice if i can get some help, information, or if it's even possible to do this.
Thank you in advance though! ;v;

Re: Custom Shaky text tag?
It depends on what your goals are. If you only want the whole text to shake, then you can simply use transforms and keyword arguments for the say screen - no text-tags needed. If you want certain parts of a text to shake, e.g. only letters or words or phrases, it's more difficullt. A text-tag in this case could create an animated Displayable out of that subtext and show it as an image inside the text.
Here is how you animate stuff: https://www.renpy.org/doc/html/atl.html

Also, while you will likely want to learn how to do these things for yourself, sometimes reinventing the already invented isn't necessary
