effect

There is no standalone effect command yet. Effects are applied through existing commands and text tags.

For timed sprite transforms, use animate (see docs/commands/animate.md).

Float Effect

• Syntax: float <amp> [speed]
• amp: movement amount in pixels.
• speed: cycles per second (optional, default 1.0).

Supported Targets

• scene image ... float <amp> [speed]
• add image ... float <amp> [speed]
• show <character> ... float <amp> [speed]
• character ... float <amp> [speed] (default for that character)

Text Effect

• Tag syntax: [shake]text[/shake]
• Works inside dialogue text.

Examples

scene image "bg/river.png" float 6 0.4;
add image fog "fx/fog.png" center float 3 0.6;
show chars.alice happy right float 4 1.2;

chars.narrator "This is [shake]shaky[/shake].";
