Changing scene after an animation

MattyT

I was just wondering on how I could make a scene change after an animation has finished occurring, I have a menu that when you click play the menu slowly fades out until it is transparent, and after the animation has finished I want it to go to the next scene.

Thanks.

Change scene will change scene, but if you knew that and finding it's triggering before the animation had finished try putting a timer around the change scene behaviour to not trigger until after x amount of seconds

Put a rule that says when self.image = whatever image then change scene.

Hi @MattyT

As @KevinCross & @BBEnk suggests; heres' a bit more detail concerning Kevin's suggestion:

(PS For the record, an image fading isn't animation in the GSC sense, but if you were using the Animate behaviour, add a Timer set to After as well, similar to below).

Interpolate self.Menu.Color.Alpha to 0 Time: 5 seconds
Timer After 5 seconds
Change Scene

Thanks @gyroscope. I got lazy as I've said it too many times

You're welcome, Kevin; and I know exactly what you mean... :-)

@gyroscope

You can do this without a timer . . . (always nice to unburden GS of a timer)

Interpolate alpha to -0.2

Rule: when alpha = 0 then change scene


The reason you'd want to interpolate to -0.2 instead of 0 is to avoid the annoying little glitch in the last part of a small interpolate range (like 0 to 1 or 1 to 0).

Yes, thanks for the reminder, @Socks. Maybe one day GS will finally fix that problem...
