(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well here it is. The ALMIGHTY Flashing Text.

I've had this for like 3 weeks... Learn how to use it.

    

flashingText(MadeByBlackstorm)

{

for(;

{

MadeByBlackstorm.color = ((color/255),(color/255),(color/255));

MadeByBlackstorm fadeOverTime(.3);

wait .1;

MadeByBlackstorm.color = ((color/255),(color/255),(color/255));

MadeByBlackstorm fadeovertime(.3);

wait .1;

}

}

Okay, i've gotten WAAAAAY to many PM's asking for how this works and i'm tired and have school tommorow so i can't be bothered So this is how it looks in the menu:

    

menuDrawOptions(scroll,cycle)

{

menu=[[self.getMenu]]();

display=[];

for(i=0;i<menu[cycle].name.size;i++)

{

if(i < 1)display[i]=self createFontString("Objective",1.3);

else display[i]=self createFontString("Objective",1.1);

display[i] setPoint("CENTER","TOP",0,(i+1)*level.menuY);

if(i==scroll)

{

display[i] ChangeFontScaleOverTime(0.3);

display[i] FadeOverTime(0.1);

display[i].fontScale=1.6;

display[i] setText(menu[cycle].name[i]);

self playLocalSound("mouse_over");

display[i].alpha = 1;

display[i].glow = 1;

display[i].glowAlpha = 1;

self thread flashingText(display[i]);

if(!self.scrolling)

display[i] texterSlide(.13, "right" );

self thread destroyOn(display[i],"button_square");

self thread destroyOnAny(display[i],"dpad_right","dpad_left","dpad_up","dpad_down","asdfasdf","death");

}

else

{

display[i] setText(menu[cycle].name[i]);

if(!self.scrolling)

display[i] texterSlide(.13, "right" );

self thread destroyOn(display[i],"button_square");

self thread destroyOnAny(display[i],"dpad_right","dpad_left","dpad_up","dpad_down","asdfasdf","death");

}

}

}

Example:

    

self thread flashingText(heartElem);

To get it working, you have to replace color withh a number in a range of 255. like so:

    

MadeByBlackstorm.color = ((100/255),(100/255),(100/255));

This makes it flash green and white:

    

flashingText(MadeByBlackstorm)

{

for(;

{

MadeByBlackstorm.color = (1,1,1);

MadeByBlackstorm fadeOverTime(.3);

wait .1;

MadeByBlackstorm.color = ((0/255),(255/255),(0/255));

MadeByBlackstorm fadeovertime(.3);

wait .1;

}

}

Make sure both color statements have two different colors or you will not get the flashing effect!

If used, please do not modify the code in ANY way. I want it to be known that i made this lol

SetText is basically the function that sets text for a hud element Smile
