Fadein help

[Statyk]

You have no syntax after StartGame! Try this:

/*void StartGame(string &in asTimer)
{
FadeIn(5);
SetPlayerActive(true);
}*/

Added the syntax, and moved the FadeIn to OnStart, but the screen doesn't fade in.

Here's a basic example on how to use a timer:

PHP Code: (Select All)

void OnStart(){
    AddTimer("timer_name", 5, "TimerCallback");
}

void TimerCallback(string &in timer_name){
    // do something...
}

did you make sure to remove the " /* " and " */ "

They tell the script to ignore anything within it. If you don't take those out, the script will ignore the whole function I gave you.

void StartGame(string &in asTimer)
{
FadeIn(5);
SetPlayerActive(true);
}

I'm aware of the function of the /*.

The code I pasted earlier was an earlier version when I was testing something else, and the method was giving an error. Don't worry, I'm not testing commented out functions

The new code:

Code: (Select All)

void StartGame(string &in asTimer) {
    SetPlayerActive(true);
}

I have

Code: (Select All)

SetPlayerActive(false);
FadeIn(5);
AddTimer("FadeTimer", 5, "StartGame");

in my OnStart, so the player is both frozen, gets the fade from black, and then starts the timer to initate the StartGame function so the player is able to move.

So it works now?

No, I was just describing what was supposed to happen.

It looks correct. Are you saving in the correct .hps?... Could you perhaps post all of your .hps? If everything seems fine, I don't understand what the issue could be.

I'm only using one .hps file.

I have skype, so remote assistance is a possibility if you do as well.

Ok, I have not read every single reply to this thread, so I'm going to throw this out there. Delete the FadeIn(5); from the void on start and put this in:

void OnStart()
{
AddTimer("fadein", 0.1f, "fadeinTimer");
}

void fadeinTimer(string &in asTimer)
{
FadeIn(4.9f);
}
