(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Here's A Video Reference For You:

My Version:

    

CoolText()

{

self.display FadeOverTime( 0.75 ); self.display.color = ( 1, 0, 0 ); wait .75;

self.display FadeOverTime( 0.75 ); self.display.color = ( 0, 1, 0 ); wait .75;

self.display FadeOverTime( 0.75 ); self.display.color = ( 0, 0, 1 ); wait .75; 

self.display FadeOverTime( 0.75 ); self.display.color = ( 1, 0, 1 ); wait .75;

self.display FadeOverTime( 0.75 ); self.display.color = ( 0, 1, 1 ); wait .75; 

self.display FadeOverTime( 0.75 ); self.display.color = ( 1, 1, 0 ); wait .75; 

self thread CoolText();

}

TheFallen's Shorter Version:

Thread From Menu, Or Anywhere Else

    

self thread doFlash(self.display);

    

doFlash(elem)

{

    r=randomint(255);

    g=randomint(255);

    b=randomint(255);

    for(;

        {

            elem FadeOverTime( 0.75 );

            elem.color=(r,g,b);

            wait .75;

        }

}

ReScript's Version:

    

colorFade( color1, color2, freq ){    self.flashing = true;    memo = 0;    while( self.flashing = true )    {        self fadeOverTime( freq );        if ( memo = 0 ){            self.color = color1;            memo = 1;        }        if ( memo = 1 ){            self.color = color2;            memo = 0;        }        wait freq;    }}

//starting the flashelement colorFade( (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), 1 );

//ending the flashelement.flashing = false;

NOTE: CHANGE THE "self.display" TO WHATEVER YOUR TEXT CODE IS (Ex: self.MenuText)

Basically what it does is fades the given element .colour with two given chosen colours, it's very universal though.

The two "smaller" versions in the OP are flawed.

The version I posted was not "smaller" just more efficient, please point out these flaws you speak of.
Don't bother relying with something unique to GSC, I don't specialise in the language, there is nothing wrong with the general knowledge in the factors of programming though.

This is a shorter version. Just do something like this for what ever your text def. is:

    

self thread doFlash(self.display);

I'm not sure if "randomint" works on Cod 4 but it should. Other wise you have to manually enter the color values.

    

doFlash(elem)

{

    r=randomint(255);

    g=randomint(255);

    b=randomint(255);

    for(;

        {

            elem FadeOverTime( 0.75 );

            elem.color=(r,g,b);

            wait .75;

        }

}

woah, i can see you finally starting to look at COD4 =D

    colorFade( color1, color2, freq )

{    

	self.flashing = true;    

	memo = 0;    

	while( self.flashing = true )    

	{        

		self fadeOverTime( freq );        

		if ( memo = 0 )

		{            

			self.color = color1;            

			memo = 1;        

		}        

		if ( memo = 1 )

		{            

			self.color = color2;            

			memo = 0;        

		}        

		wait freq;    

	}

}

1. Incorrect syntax for while loops an if statements
2. No point for the 'memo' variable; if your going to cycle through both colors anyways

    doFlash(elem)

{

    r=randomint(255);

    g=randomint(255);

    b=randomint(255);

    for(;

        {

            elem FadeOverTime( 0.75 );

            elem.color=(r,g,b);

            wait .75;

        }

}

1. RGB values have to divided by 255
2. No way to end script
3. Only one color per call to the thread

Like I said I don't deal with GSC often.
