How to make an actor blink?

Cabaco

I want to make a button that says touch to start and I want it to blink (destroy and respawn) how do I do that?

dont destroy and respawn it is not good for performance.. Just have a rule that when you touch the button switch alpha to 0 for the amount off time you want it to blink then back to 1.

I made a timer after 0.5 seconds change color alpha to 0 and the after another 0.5 seconds change color alpha to 1 but it stops there how can I make it infinite blinks?

Not sure how new you are--specifically, use the Change Attribute behavior, (self.color.alpha=0) and the Timer behavior.

I am not new, but not very good at this

When:

* "self.color.alpha"=1
* After 0.5 Seconds:
-Change Attribute: self.color.alpha to "0"

When:

* "self.color.alpha"=0
-Change Attribute: self.color.alpha to "1"

This should help..

Thanks its working!

You're very welcome!

If self.color.alpha not equal to (self.time*X)%2
Change self.color.alpha to (self.time*X)%2

Change the value of X to control the speed.
