TIMER to Change Over 100 Actors to ALPHA (problem)

VoiceExpress

So I have a timer which starts after 0.5 seconds of the scene which has over 100 rules all doing the same thing but with 100 different actors....i was hoping there might be away to have one rule that does ALL :

Change Attribute:
Scene.Background.ACTOR1-ACTOR100.Colour.Alpha To: 0 (can this be done) What code?

At the moment I Have
Scene.Background.ACTOR1.Colour.Alpha To: 0
Scene.Background.ACTOR2.Colour.Alpha To: 0
Scene.Background.ACTOR3.Colour.Alpha To: 0

And so on, Any help as really struggling to copy and paste attribute.

Thanks

I would do a boolean game attribute. Lets call it, alpha

then in each prototype actor make a rule

When game.alpha is true
Change self.color.alpha to 1
--Otherwise
Change self.color.alpha to 0

Then just have your timer in a single controller actor

After 0.5 seconds
Change game.alpha to false

100 actors in one scene is going to be hard on performance just an FYI.

@ Tenrdrmer

When you say "prototype Actor" Do you mean go in to all the actor separately and edit with that rule ?

Could I tag all the actors ??? then do it from a Tag. Or does Tag only work with the Collide rule

Thanks for the Tip about the performance

Yes, prototype is the actor in the left menu. Instances are the actors in the creator window on the right. So you could have 10 instances of actor1 for example in the scene. So changing the prototype would change all the instances as well (providing they weren't unlocked instances).

You'll need to put the rule tenrdrmer said in each actor.

Got ya, Thanks

There's really no shortcut to what you want to do. But surely all 100 actors are not separate prototypes. Although If you have unlocked any of them you will have to do it from the instance instead.
