How do you make the scene shake? (2025)

I know how to make it shake off the top of my head. It's right in the Cookbook. But I'll have to look go back and look up how to do a flash before I can explain it to you. Or maybe someone else can give you the answer sooner. Anyways here is how you make is shake:

init: python: import math class Shaker(object): anchors = { 'top' : 0.0, 'center' : 0.5, 'bottom' : 1.0, 'left' : 0.0, 'right' : 1.0, } def __init__(self, start, child, dist): if start is None: start = child.get_placement() # self.start = [ self.anchors.get(i, i) for i in start ] # central position self.dist = dist # maximum distance, in pixels, from the starting point self.child = child def __call__(self, t, sizes): # Float to integer... turns floating point numbers to # integers. def fti(x, r): if x is None: x = 0 if isinstance(x, float): return int(x * r) else: return x xpos, ypos, xanchor, yanchor = [ fti(a, b) for a, b in zip(self.start, sizes) ] xpos = xpos - xanchor ypos = ypos - yanchor nx = xpos + (1.0-t) * self.dist * (renpy.random.random()*2-1) ny = ypos + (1.0-t) * self.dist * (renpy.random.random()*2-1) return (int(nx), int(ny), 0, 0) def _Shake(start, time, child=None, dist=100.0, **properties): move = Shaker(start, child, dist=dist) return renpy.display.layout.Motion(move, time, child, add_sizes=True, **properties) Shake = renpy.curry(_Shake) ##init: $ sshake = Shake((0, 0, 0, 0), 1.0, dist=15)# The game starts here.label start: scene bg whatev "Huh?! What happened?" with sshake return

Be sure to put the big init code before the start label and then use the command sshake after the start label when you want it to shake.

I wish XD. But really I just know where to find the code immediately and how to get it to work without refreshing my memory. So it only takes a few moments to put together an example. I still have to copy/paste it though . That's not the case with a flash where I have to reread stuff and test things to make sure I'm doing it right.

Anyways for a simple flash this should work:

init: $ flash = Fade(.25, 0, .75, color="#fff") image bg whatev = "BG.png"# The game starts here.label start: "........................." "What is happening?" with flash#Or you could do this scene bg whatev with flash#You can use the flash to go to a new background or if you want it to be the same background just make sure the scene line lists the same background you were using in the last scene return

I seem to be having trouble with the shake code...

I am not sure what is going on. I tried indenting it where the arrow is at and it did nothing to change it XD Any ideas?

Isn't there a much easier way to do the shake and flash? Isn't a quick vertical and horizontal shake and a flash defined already in renpy? I'm pretty sure I remember seeing it in the tutorial.

Edit: Aha! I found it! This page talks about both the predefined hpunch and vpunch, which do a quick shake, but also gives and example of a camera flash under the Fade transition:

I also thing for a longer more continuous shaking, there would probably be an easier way to do it through ATL code or screen language, right?

A Close Shave:
*Last Thing Done (Aug 17): Finished coding emotions and camera for 4/10 main labels.
*Currently Doing: Coding of emotions and camera for the labels--On 5/10
*First Next thing to do: Code in all CG and special animation stuff
*Next Next thing to do: Set up film animation
*Other Thing to Do: Do SFX and Score (maybe think about eye blinks?)

trooper is right. Here is the discussion about the ATL shaking effect:
