Different text sizes and fading?
Hello all,
I've created some nice dreamy effects for my dream sequence (using Harlowe), but there are a few things I'd still like to achieve. In order of priority:
1.)
I would like to increase the size of a single piece of text and realign it, making it central to the screen. It would move from the bottom right, increasing in size (as well as having other effects applied) until it became the focal point of the screen and also a link. Is there any way of doing this, for example via the CSS: macro or other workarounds?
2.) (This might be kind of a pre-requisite for 1)
I would like some way of fading out text - the text-style "delete" gives me an error message at present (though I've only tried it in a test run so far, not even sure if it would provide the effect I'm after as it didn't work). Is there anything "built-in" that does this? If not I am considering maybe a gradual change in text colour till it is the same colour as the screen, though I don't know if this would allow me to centralise and enlarge my remaining text? Perhaps it is best just to move to a different passage?
3.)
I am currently using a recursive (live:) command to fill empty, named hooks from an array, which works pretty nicely though A.) certain text effects don't seem to work at all e.g. blurrier, whilst others - for example fade-in-out - are either removing the spaces I have included in my strings or at least making them less visible. I am using Papyrus as my font if that helps. Is it the case that not all text-styles work with all fonts?
Thanks all in advance - I'm beginning to really like the effects I can produce and a lot of that is down to you fine folk. I hope one day I'll have a story to share with you all
