transparency

[iamacooldude]

I am trying to make the view fade in and out so that the MoveTo command seems less jerky. I tried this code:

Code: Select all

int endw=1;
    while(endw==1){
    view.transp-=.01;
    if(view.transp==0){
                endw=2;
                }
       }


But it just freezes game editor in an endless loop.(endw never equals 2)
Any ideas on how to fix this?

you cant change the view transparency, you need to create an actor, make it the color you need, then just infinite it and change the transparent

thanks! I'll try that.
It would be nice if you could do that, though.(and be able to specify a fade color)

Actually, I did something similar...
I made a "black" actor the had the view as its parent and then changed it's transparency when I needed it. The actor was the size of the view. Works the same, but slightly different. Just wanted to let you know.

works differently, but is less memory usebled
