This Is Ridiculous

[Kyranki]

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
enum {
  MODE_NONE,
  MODE_FADEINTEXT,
  MODE_FADEOUTTEXT
}
function onCreated() {
  hideimg(200);
  this.mode = MODE_NONE;
  fadeInText(1, "Welcome.", 2, "Comic Sans MS", "c");
}
public function fadeInText(time, stext, szoom, sfont, sstyle) {
  with (findimg(200)) {
    x = ((GraalControl.width / 2) - (this.width / 2));
    y = ((GraalControl.height / 2) - (this.height / 2));
    text = stext;
    zoom = szoom;
    font = sfont;
    layer = 4;
    style = sstyle;
    visible = true;
    alpha = 0;
  }
  this.mode = MODE_FADEINTEXT;
  this.fadeint = 0.05 / time;
  
  setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeout() {
  switch (this.mode) {
    case MODE_FADEINTEXT:
      echo("Fading in text.");
      with (findimg(200)) {
        alpha += thiso.fadeint;
        if (alpha => 1) {
          thiso.mode = MODE_NONE;
          setTimer(0);
        }
      }
    break;
  }
  setTimer(0.5);
} 


That should work perfectly. O_O And it refuses to work, what is happening is the image is not visible then it just becomes visible. With no fading. >:O

Just copy my util_guifade class from Val Dev and join it to a GUI thingy.

I'm not quite getting this, and it seems a lot longer than it should be. I'd use a while instead of a timeout myself, but anyways, I think it's with the 0.05/time. Graal has a hard time handling smaller floating points sometimes, at least in my experience. If you're using a higher time, it might not be able to calculate the value, thus not increase the alpha.

I suppose I could make a gui text control and do that. Thanks Inver.

Hmm, thanks for the info Dusty. I'll make sure to test that out in the future. :O

Uhm?

You're increasing the alpha by (0.05/time) which in your case is 0.005 every 0.5 secs.. So.. my guess it, IT WILL TAKE LONG TIME

oh, and: use this.alpha instead of simple just alpha :o
Then you know what object you're working with

Yea, might be a problem with the object, thats why I always use:

PHP Code:

findimg(200).alpha 


I had some similar problem before. Actually, almost the same. I wanted to fade text, tried to do it like you did, but it didnt work ;P

This is the script I use for fading on Val Dev, it is to be joined to a Gui Control object.

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
enum {
  M_NONE,
  M_FADEIN,
  M_FADEOUT
}
public function fadeIn(time, toalpha) {
  if (this.fademode != M_NONE)
    return;
  this.fademode = M_FADEIN;
  this.fadeint = 0.05 / time;
  this.fadeto = toalpha;
  this.visible = true;
  this.fading = true;
  setTimer(0.05);
}
public function fadeOut(time, toalpha) {
  if (this.fademode != M_NONE)
    return;
  this.fademode = M_FADEOUT;
  this.fadeint = 0.05 / time;
  this.fadeto = toalpha;
  this.visible = true;
  this.fading = true;
  setTimer(0.05);
}
function onTimeout() {
  switch (this.fademode) {
    case M_FADEIN:
      this.alpha += this.fadeint;
      if (this.alpha >= this.fadeto) {
        this.fademode = M_NONE;
        this.fading = false;
        setTimer(0);
      }
      else {
        setTimer(0.05);
      }
      break;
    case M_FADEOUT:
      this.alpha -= this.fadeint;
      if (this.alpha <= this.fadeto) {
        this.fademode = M_NONE;
        if (this.fadeto == 0) {
          this.visible = false;
        }
        this.fading = false;
        setTimer(0);
      }
      else {
        setTimer(0.05);
      }
      break;
  }
}
