Title: Fades!
Post by: Speshal on December 22, 2006, 08:41:51 am

I've been following another recent thread about fades and read up on as much as possible but I just can't get it to work.  I'm just trying to play with the effect for the moment but it never seems to do anything.  I've got a message-list going and then with op fade-out in a chained event so when they stop talking it fades out.  But nothing happens  :doubt: :doubt: :doubt:

You're right: fade-in and fade-out won't work if you chain the events they belong to...

InSTEAD you should use is-event-true-delay.

Speshal: Can you post your sexp tree?

Mobius: You sure? I've used them with chains all the time.

Uh I used chained events too but they aren't working now. To be honest, I'm continuing without fades. I use them 'rarely'.

I've decided to just skip that part.  I was planning on trying to work out some kind of docking procedure with an Arcadia but alas my noobish skills don't get me that far.  Thanks very much for the replies though  :yes: :yes:
