To make an actor glare or dim.

gawakamy

Hi, GS dudes.
I am gonna make an actor glare or dim. I have tried some, but failed.
This is what I made.

Timer ever 3 sec.
Interpolate self.color.blue To self.color.green (duration : 2, Function : Easy in/out)
Interpolate self.color.green To self.color.blue (duration : 2, Function : Easy in/out)

Dim can be done with interpolate self.color.alpha to anything less than 1 (e.g. 0, 0.5, etc.). Glare might require a unique image or a secondary actor on top with a different graphic blending mode. Not sure about that one.

We did something like that and it's like tatiang said...you can easily dim but glare, youll prob need a second image. The other solution is to design the image pre-glared, and then have it's default state in the game be partially dimmed to "normal" state. Then you set colors at 1,1,1 to make it glare.
