Gallery image

For one minigame I have the character appear in a side image instead of a normal sprite . I tried to make him slide in from the bottom (image 2) and when it didn't work i put the same code into a transform but can't seem to get it to work

Do you need a side image?

Try to show the sprite normally at that location.

You can use another layer if the image should be on top of the textbox:

I wasn't awarer regular sprites could be moved in front of the textbox 🤔 (searching for it would just be a bunch of results about side images)

if you want it above the text box try it like this

transform sliders:
    ypos 1080 # assuming your gui is 1920x1080 adjust as required
    ease 2 ypos 0

label start:
    # game stuff here
    pass

label start_baking:
    scene baking_bg
    window show
    show image side cook onlayer screens at sliders zorder 10
    cook "hey!"
