flickering sign.

AppsterDude

Ok i have an actor the looks like a neon sign and i want it to flicker on and off and right now i can only get it to turn on and i can't get it to flicker, everything i tried alway makes it stay off. PLEASE HELP!!!!

1. You can use interpolate with a couple of rules and timers. I'm not in front of my computer right now, and i don't know the formula off the top of my head.

2. Make it an animation. Use 2 images, one for the sign being on, and one for the sign being off. Drop those images in an Animate behavior, and set the frame rate to 1 frame per second, or whatever framerate works better for your desired results.

My answers to each option

1. thats what I've tried but i also don't know the formula.

2. i want it random.


I'm not trying to sound harsh or anything so please don't take it like that! i just like to be plain and blunt!

Thank You for your advice! i really appreciate it!

Get your neon sign image and a blank image and drag lots of copies of them into an animate behaviour, then randomise the order and stick the animate behaviour on 'loop'.

When i say "Random' i mean like the sign turn on at a random time and flicker randomly so its NEVER the same.

Two rules

If it's off then after a random amount of time turn it on.

If it is on then after a random amount of time turn it off.
