[Solved] Applying transform on window within say_arguments_callback function

[kaleidoscopic_kelvin]

I want to apply a shake effect to the say window. How do I access the window within the callback code?

Code: Select all

def say_arguments_callback(char, shake_toggle = False, *args, **kwargs):
        if shake_toggle:
           #<window transform>
            kwargs["what_color"] = "#000"

Thanks in advance!

If you want a shake effect in the say screen, you have to first implement it. This has nothing to do with a callback.

Code: Select all

default shake_say = False

screen say(who, what):
    style_prefix "say"
    
    window:
        if shake_say:
            at myshake
    ...

I used the shake as an example. When I try passing a variable to bubble, it doesn't have any effect, but passing to the say screen works. So I needed to find a more general way to manipulate both bubble and say screens. I was able to manipulate the what properties for both say and bubble dialogue types, so now I need to figure out how to access the window stuff from the function

I don't think you can pass non-style-related arguments to the say or bubble screen. A transform is not a kind of style.

So given my screen example above, you just have to change the global variable whenever you want to make the say window shake. I hope this is what you were aiming for. Otherwise you would need to explain it in more detail to me.

Code: Select all

init python:
    def say_arguments_callback(who, interact=True, shake=False):
        store.shake_say = shake
        return (), { "interact" : interact }

    config.say_arguments_callback = say_arguments_callback
    
label start:
    e "Hello, I am Eileen." (shake=True)
    return

Yes! It's working with the two variables separated like that.

Thanks so much!!!
