Scrolling + Transparent/Disappearing
« on: October 29, 2015, 05:26:13 am »
So. I need a little preset help because I'm having troubles figuring it out myself.

This is my preset. I either want to keep the transparent textures and have the red markings scrolling or have the whole preset disappear and come back while keeping the transparent parts.

Is this possible? If it is I would like the coding. I hope it is as I would be quite happy

Thank you! ^^

And IiiiIiii will always loVE YOOOUU"

Sadly, I do not think transparent and scrolling presets can be combined. The way scrolling works is 'tis a whole new layer underneath the visible preset that moves. The only way to see this "second layer" is to 'ave parts of y'er preset transparent. So, if ye any where ye 'ave transparency, ye'll 'ave the scrolling texture.

As f'er the disappearing preset coding, I believe y'er looking f'er this. A mighty big thankies to PrettyReckless {Ressy} f'er the code. ;D
Code: [Select]
{
 technique
 {
  pass
  {
   scene_blend alpha_blend
   texture_unit
   {
    anim_texture (IMAGES HERE) (Insert number here)
   }
  }
 }
}

Now, do note that ye will need multiple frames of y'er preset f'er this fading code to work. What it does is it plays the pictures in a never ending sequence. So, just save multiples of y'er preset, each with a different level of transparency from seen to less seen. The number is how fast 'twill be playing. Ye'll need to play 'round with this until ye find a good speed.

Hope this helps ye, deary! Best of luck with y'er preset.

Tmw you planned a ten minute nap but instead took a whole year.

You can combine scrolling and transparent, however, if you want scrolling and transparent on the same image - you cannot do that.
