Fading text?

[Janet Merai]

Hi, this engine is...just outstanding!

I've tried RPG Maker 2003/2k, XP and Game Maker...none of them gave me the options I needed.

Anywho, I am having a bit of an issue here.
I have my text ready and changing transparency; but I would like that text to fade in when invisible so it appears it is giving this structure:

- - Invisible word
-- The word starts fading in to desired color smoothly
Hello world! - The text fades in smoothly to desired color

I need 3 sets of text actors to fade from invisible to visible transitionally smoothly, any help here?

Also, I am using timers to give them set time limits to appear, but they do not transition fadingly so that works out, but I just need the fading

Thanks for any help!

Put this code in the 'Draw Actor' event of the text:

Code: Select all

transp -= .01;

Oh my gosh, thank you!
It worked the second I tried it

Thank you for the code! :3

If I need anymore help, i'll post.

I'm not much of a programmer at all, my head spins when I try XD
