How to fade in and out of a scene, then cut to the title scene (with out touching the scene)

jobei

What's the steps I have to take?

You need an actor the same size as the screen in the color you want


To fade in
Interpolate self.color.alpha to 0

To fade out
Interpolate self.color.alpha to 1

Then change scene


So for a transitions from one scene to another

Fade out to black
Change scene
Fade in

So do i need to make 2 actors, one actor as a black backaround the same size as the screen and another actor is the picture i want to fade into?

The picture and black background as to different actors?

Nope sorry I still not getting it Jonmulcahy.

This is what I have , a picture of a skull that suppose to fade in then fade up and cut to the next scene that is the start menu.

Right now my picture fades in and out really fast and still dont go into the next scene, it just stay all black, and I been messing with the number and it still do the same fast fade in and out.

Am I suppose to have 2 actors? One actor as a black background and another actor as skull image?

I've been trying to do this all morning.
I want my actor to fade in, pause, fade out, then go to the next scene.

Thank of it as a studio name fading in , pause, then fade out, then go into the title screen.

That's what I'm trying to do.

Also I'm working off the window gamesalad

Merged with the existing topic you had n this subject on the front page.
This is a very basic task


If the background is black, on the skull have something like

Interpolate self.color.alpha to 1 over 2 seconds
Tmer after 3 seconds
Interpolate self.color.alpha to 0 over 2 seconds
Timer after 5 seconds
Change scene

Hi @jobei

One way to do this (especially if you've more than one actor to fade in and out):

Place a blank actor with its colour set to black over the entire screen. In its Rules, put:

Interpolate self.actor.Alpha to 0 --- set the fade time as you'd want
Timer: After 5 seconds
Interpolate self.actor.Alpha to 1
Change Scene

Edit: I've been beaten to it by Jon!

Thanks I have it working now.
