How do I make a "fade effect" for objects?!

Hi guys,

I would like to make a "Fade Effect" for my players. When pressing a button, is the opacity go from 100 to 50. I need a smooth transition here. How can I implement it? Thanks for help.

You could put it in a loop.

When button pressed and opacity greater than 50 -1 from opacity and repeat until opacity is = 50.

No, it must work with "dt *" or something.

If your using an every x seconds (or fraction of a second) condition it already has framerate independence.

I just did this for some text I was fading in and out

Do this:

Add sine behavior to the player. under sine behavior change to "value only"

make an event:

ON button pressed -> set player opacity to sine.value(50,100)

This should work. I don't have access to my PC and my CAPX but I believe that is the correct way I did it for the sine.value.

Are you sure you did this? sine.value doesnt take params, it only report its current value. LiteTween will do what the OP wants though.

codah Yea I know I somehow referenced the sine maybe not exactly using that phrase. I need to look when I am home to verify. I didn't use LiteTween or anything.

Good idea though. I guess you set magnitude to 50 then just use sine.value. I'll have to remember this if I can't use 3rd party plugins.

You guys are making it way more complicated than it needs to be.

but good solution, no behaviours or external plugins.

Edit: this also works (he wants to go to 50 opacity)

codah yes I used the magnitude.

Here it is in one event. Event 16. Hold down Spacebar.

Yea 1 event but aided by a behaviour Mine is 3 lines and a group, with no behaviours or plugins (I don't count the 'set opacity to 100' which is just set-up).

Anyway yours doesn't quite match the criteria, to go from 100 to 50 opacity. You'll need to add more actions..

codah Yea thats true it doesn't go to 50 opacity. Would need to be tweaked. At least the OP has options now.

Just having a little fun, hope you took it that way As you say the more options the better.
