How to make Fade in and fade out screen ?

[Wertyboy]

Hi all, how to make fade in and fade out screen when game startup

[Game A Gogo]

create a variable called "Fader" (might be a good idea if it's local)
in the draw actor of your logo or whatever object you want to fade:

Code: Select all

if(Fader==0)transp-=0.2;
else if(Fader==1)transp+=0.2;
if(transp<=0)Fader=1;
else if(transp>=1 && Fader==1)
{
    //if this is a logo
    DestroyActor("Event Actor");
    //or if you want it to keep flashing
    Fader=0;
}

make sure to delete either the DestroyActor or Fader=0; for what you want to use
And this in the create actor:

Code: Select all

transp=1;

thx but the logo is fade out too fast, i want to : after 5 seconds, logo fade out

change the 0.2 value of the first two line, maybe 0.025 ?

make a timer variable. Then place Gag's code where it says GC

Code: Select all

timer++;
if (timer>=real_fps*5) // 5 is the ammount of seconds to wait)
{
    GC
    timer = 0;
}


Like I said, replace GC with gag's code. Game A Gogo's code :3

hblade that makes it like 5923750912653092683054293 time more complicated than it should be....

can you even say that number?

Uhm..... need help with this logo
I want to the BlackScreen Actor Change Tranparent : 100; after that, change tranparent :0

okay, 2 things:
Transparency is a float, its min value is 0 and it's max value is 1. So it will never be greater than 2.

So you say, transp +=whatever, and then, if you want to disable it, do this:

if (transp>0.99){
VisibilityState("Event Actor", DISABLE);}

now that disables all drawing (and also collision/mousedown) for this actor. But consider this too...create an actor, real, variable. That will be a float (decimal).

So then try:

transp+=myfade;
if(transp>0.99){
VisibilityState("Event Actor", DISABLE);}

and just set myfade to 0.2 on startup.

Now, at any time, like when you get ready to end the level, or the player leaves the game, and you want black to come BACK, try

VisibilityState("black", ENABLE); //will still be invisible cause transp is still at 1
black.myfade=-0.2; //will start fading back in

now, transp+=myfade....1+-.02 =.98....suddenly, you see, you can make black fade in and out at any time, by simply changing the value of the real actor variable 'myfade'. When black is visible, it stays visible until you give myfade a positive value. You can call black.myfade from any actor or script....from player click on button to boss death to score tallied up to player exits game. From any event, you can just call black.myfade and give it a value.

If black becomes transparent, it will always use 'visibility state' to turn itself off. You just have to remember to turn it on again when you want it back.

Back! So who have fade out code without any variable?

[needaname]

you need to at least deal with transp. transp is the transparency variable, like dst said above. this code will cause your actor to fade out (draw event). it'd be better to use somethin like dst did though.

Code: Select all

transp+=0.02;
