Is there a way to set transition between frames? a fade out effect that would be better than jumping right into the next frame?
I think it would be easy to do like a portal animation for a character to go into a portal, disappear, and then time the jump to frame properly.
Is it possible to simply make a fade from frame to frame?
what are some good techniques used here?
Frame proppertys ---> settings ---> Transittions ---> Fade inn <none>, Fade out <none>
...
Play around with theese and im sure youl get the result you want.
beware though, durring a transition ( Fade In or Fade Out ) the game is paused ( or does not uppdate the picture ).
awesome. You can't use jump to frame with these eh? only next frame?
I suppose in order to keep animations going one would have to completely design, and work their own transition eh?
eh eh eh, lol, I'm not Canadian or nothing, lol.
Fade Out for a frame, activates every time that frame ends ( no matter what level you jump to, and yes also if you clos the window/ exit the program in that frame )
Fade out for a frame, activates whenever you enter that frame ( no matter what frame you were previously in, and yes even if its the first frame when you run your application )
The transitions would need to be completly redesigned for that to work i guess ( animations running durring transitions ), and i dont think thats going to happen in MMF2
You could do your own transitions. Create an Active which has the size of the frame window. the Active could have a plain color or you could make it a screenshot of the level which the trasition is going to. When the transition would trigger you could just decrease or increase ( depending if its a fade in or out transition ) the Actives 'semitransparency' . When semitransparency is 0 or 255 ( depending if its a fade in or out transition ), jump to target level...
... Of cource this sounds complicated and tricky, and smells like troubble ( i have not done this before )
Ill race you to 1000
lol, It does sound tricky, but probably possible. Game would have to run at flawless speed and timing, lol.
I've have several example of this if you need one.
I've been working on making the fade in/out transitions (like fade in/out, mosiac, slide) part of an active object rather than have the thing be done via the default fade in/out within MMF2
Hey, that could be good learning. Wouldn't mind if it's not too much trouble for ya :) thanks.
