Interpolate change image?

GamersRejoice

Like the title says, is it possible to use the change image behavior and have it interpolate so I could fade the new image in? Any ideas as to how I could do this without creating new actors if it isn't possible?

Only way I can think of involves spawning a copy of the actor below, interpolating the top actor's alpha and then destroying it...

I haven't tested this, but I'm thinking that you could make it like an animation.

Create Actor Attribute
Constrain self.image to picture-(self.counter).png

Then, you can make self.counter a number... like frames in an animation.

If the actor doesn't move, you can also try using particles. When the particle fades in, change the image underneath, and then stop the particle.

Using a particle effect to switch an image, now there is an interesting idea. I'm going to have to play with that.

I'm trying to do this as well. Isn't there a method dealing with the "floor" feature? I've seen this used for changing images for scoring. I'm sure it can be used for Interpolating images as well?

all the floor does is round a decimal to a whole number. its used for custom fonts in scoring becuase it needs a whole number to match with a image that has that whole number in the title.

Ooooh. I see. No wonder it wasn't working. haha Sorry about my lack of knowledge. So the particle method works? I'm going to try it out as well.
