How do I make text fade... after some time. [Harlowe]

So I've looked at this question: http://twinery.org/forum/discussion/6430/how-do-i-make-text-fade

What if I want to make it start to fade out after a few seconds? I'm thinking maybe (live:)? But I'm not sure how to go about with it.

Also, as an aside, what if I want it to disappear completely, as in "display: none" or just remove an entire block? I'm thinking of hooking a paragraph, and after a few seconds, it starts to fade, then completely disappear and the text below move up to fill the space.

  • The (live:) macro is correct. I have no idea what the answer to that question means, but I can explain what code you would do. If, for example, you wanted text saying 'pizza' to fade out then disappear in two seconds, this is what you would do:
    |text>[Pizza]
    (live: 2s)[(whatever crazy code)]
    (replace: ?text)[]
    

    I have no idea what code to put for the fading, sorry about that. The
    (replace: ?text)[]
    
    is so it replaces the pizza (which is tagged |text>) with nothing, which is why there's nothing in between the square brackets. Again, sorry that I can't help with the fading code, but I just couldn't understand anything on that question. And this may be a little complicated, so tell me if you don't understand. And, if you don't understand this answer, try explaining to me the fading code and I could help! :smile:
