Fade-in effect?
How do you make a sprite fade-in?
I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't find the answer.
I tried using the Brightness and the Ghost effects to do a fade in, but neither works well. What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Fade-in effect?
neither works well? this is what I would do.
<set[ ghost ]effect to( 0 )>
<repeat( 20 )>
<change[ ghost ]effect by( 5 )>
<wait( 0.5 )secsc>
it works for me.

Re: Fade-in effect?
Don't worry about Brightness. Just set the Ghost Effect to 100, and when you want something to fade in, decrease the Ghost effect by 3, and have it under a forever loop. This way, the ghost effect will eventually disappear and your sprite will fade in. If your trying to do this to the background though, it won't work.

Re: Fade-in effect?
The ghost effect should work well. Have you tried something like this?
set ghost effect to 100
repeat 100
change ghost effect by -1
If it's too fast, you can put a wait .1 seconds after the change ghost effect by -1, if it's too slow, you can change it to repeat 50 and change the -1 to -2.

Re: Fade-in effect?
Repeating the -2 fifty times will take the exact same long as repeated -1 one hundred times. Try -3 thirty three times with intervals of .1 seconds inbetween. That way it'll take 3 seconds to fade in.

Thanks. Yeah, its ghost. I'm just a doofus. LOL, I had 0 and 100 confused.

Re: Fade-in effect?
Yeah if the Ghost Effect is High, that means it's less visible.

This is wrong. Repeating -2 50x is twice as fast as repeating -1 100x.

Re: Fade-in effect?
Yes, just ignore that. I was under the impression that the Repeat block did everything automatically unless it was specifically instructed to wait.
