Do timers work on text?

[Janet Merai]

I have been trying for the longest of time to get my 3 sets of text to appear at different times with the fading code I got from the admin here.

But to no avail, the text's appear at the same time fadingly, should I be doing code or is there something I am missing?

I created a timer actor and a draw actor of the script "transp -= .01;"

Any help?

The timers works with text actors without problems.
Try this example:

1) Create an actor (text1)
2) Put some text on the text1 actor
3) In the 'Create Actor' event, create a timer t1 (Periodic, 30ms)
4) In the Timer event, put the code:

Code: Select all

transp += .01;

You will have a fade out!

I tried what you said to do, and the text didn't even show X_X;

Is there something I am missing?
I re-did this around 10 times to make sure I wasn't missing a step and even created a test text

Any help here?
