Hi guys,
A quick question.
I programmed in a way to have Fading using the following:

Code: WME Script

1. method fadeOut( ent, time ) // This will fade the entity out.
2. {
3.   for ( var i = 255; i > 0; i = i-1 )
4.   { 
5.         ent.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA (255, 255, 255, i);
6.         Sleep ( time );
7.   }
8.  
9. }
10.  
11. method fadeIn( ent, time ) // This will fade the entity in.
12. {
13.   for ( var i = 0; i < 255; i = i+1 )
14.   { 
15.         ent.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA (255, 255, 255, i);
16.         Sleep ( time );
17.   }
18.  
19. }

but it only works for Windows.
Is their a way to do it for Entities in the scene like sprites, objects or even 3D actors?

Help is always greatly appreciated.

Hello Myles

Are you sure it doesn't work? I use that method for fading entities a lot.

BTW, I suggest you change your sleeptime so it's longer than the framerate or it won't work properly if you run the game in a window. So if you're running at 70fps, you want a sleeptime somewhere between that and 24fps, the speed of a movie, so your fade is smooth, so somewhere between 15 and 40 ms.

Cheers

It does work for all 2D objects. 3D objects don't support the AlphaColor property.

Interesting...i'll give it another go and see what's up.
