How do I reduce opactiy when a button is pressed then re add it when the key is pressed again?

Hi, In my game I want the player hide in the closet. I want to know how to reduce the opacity in 1 or 2 seconds down to 0. Then when the key is pressed again I want it to add back to 100 again.

I'd just use a variable. For example you could call it "hidden". Here's a possible implementation. You could use a boolean instead as well. You can also reduce it to just two events if need be.

On key pressed

-- sprite: set hidden to 1-self.hidden

Sprite: hidden = 0

-- set opacity to self.opacity - 50*dt

Sprite: hidden = 1

-- set opacity to self.opacity + 50*dt

R0J0hound Thanks sooo much. Had to do one tweak but it works! Again thanks so much
