Ren'Py Focus Bars

Want to add dark bars to imply that your player character is zoning out?

Or make a character stand out in front of the background — for example during their introduction?

This plugin gives you a ridiculously easy way to add this effect whenever needed. Just one line of code will do all the heavy lifting for you!

Example gif is from my current main project, Artificial Selection!
Other screenshots are from my upcoming game SpookY2K!

Features

• 100% plug-and-play
• Flexible customization options: size, opacity, blend mode, and whether the bars are shown behind or in front of characters
• The function works like a toggle, so you don't need to remember if you need to "show" or "hide" things
• Bars can always be adjusted on a case-by-case basis
  
• Contains example code with various modifications

How to Use

1. Plop focus_bars.rpy into your game's script folder
2. Adjust some values, if needed
3. Now you can use the $focus() function whenever you need it!
