Simultaneous Rotate, Move To, fade in Alpha

gyroscope

Hallo; in another test, I'm trying to Rotate, Move To, and fade in Alpha on an Actor, all at the same time. Rotate and Move together work fine; as does fading in the Alpha on it's own, but all three together either freezes GS or crashes it. The Rules for fading in Alpha are:

Rule: Fading In Logo
When all conditions are valid:
Attribute: self.Fade In is true
(then)
Interpolate Attribute: self.Color.Alpha To 1
Duration 2

The attribute Fade In is checked, and the Actor's Alpha is set to 0

Any help appreciated, thanks.

Hope it's OK to bump this: anyone please?

Hey fella,

Kept meaning to reply to this, so sorry I haven't before.

I guess it depends on what your actor is, and what else they're doing.

I have an actor on my title screen that rotates and moves to a position. Which is why I was thinking 'I should respond to this!'.

I added a fade in command to it about 5 mins ago to see if I could do what you were doing. It works fine, but as I said, it depends on the context your actor's in.

My actor's sole purpose was to move to a certain position while rotating. As I mentioned, I added the fade in too:

No worries, QS; your reply is appreciated!

It works a treat, thank you; just what's needed. (Only thing I changed was the Alpha to .2) When I first posed this l'il prob to myself, I hadn't got round to checking out Interpolate. I've now realised the power of it (I was trying to change stuff using Time to reach the same effect; newbie mistake I guess).

The Power of Interpolate: sounds good for a t-shirt!

I'm very glad it helped out.

I've got a brilliant idea for interpolate in a title I like to call 'Hit iPhone Game'.

Interpolate attribute: self.wealth

TO

£1,000,000

Duration:
7 days

Function: ease in/out/linear is optional

Ha! Yes; could also have a set of Rules to badger the iPhone owner. Every half hour, there'd be a phone call: "You now have...three thousand five hundred and seventy two pounds and fourty seven pence".

Hi Gyro, glad you got it sorted. ' just like to say, not a newbie mistake at all! Interpolate is a very new feature, and until it arrived, timers were the only way! I haven't even used it yet, my first game is all timers! I agree it's potentially very powerful, and I can't wait to start using it - once my blummin' iMac is fixed :[
Enjoy!

Thanks, Wayne! Here's hoping your iMac is up and running soon.
