Veni. Vidi. Vici.
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
