Hello, everyone,
I’m trying to add a transition effect to my cycling-links, in Harlowe. I’m using Twine 2.3.16 and Harlowe 3.2.3.
I think I can’t add a transition effect directly to the cycling-link macro, so I’ve used the (link: ) macro to reproduce the cyclink-links behaviour, like this, and it works:
Living is harder every day. As soon as I open my eyes and realize the day has begun, it comes to me, (link: "your presence...")[(link: "your omnipresence...")[(link: "this anguish of existing...")[the pain of living every day without you.]]]
But if I try to add the transition effect to the (link: ) macros like this:
Living is harder every day. As soon as I open my eyes and realize the day has begun, it comes to me, (link: "your presence...")[(t8n: "dissolve")[(link: "your omnipresence...")[(t8n: "dissolve")[(link: "this anguish of existing...")[(t8n: "dissolve")[the pain of living every day without you.]]]]]]
When I click the link, there is a strange behaviour: the revealed link jumps around: first skips to the line below and then returns to the right place. This only happens when a link is revealed. If the link reveals plain text, this doesn’t happen.
But maybe I’m overcomplicating things and there is a easier solution to accomplish this?
Thanks!
José
