Is it possible to interpolate self image to an other image?

KIIVIIN

Hello,

I tried to make that when my miningveins health is 0 that it interpolate the self image to its original image "EmptyVein"
But it dont work. The image appear blank / white. Anyone know if its even possible to interpolate one image set to the actor to a other one?

regards

I wounder if its possible to interpolate one image to another.
Lets say, interpolate self.image (An Apple) to image (Orange) for 1 sec.

Do I have to make 2 different rules?

Interpolate self.color.alpha to 0
When Alpha = 0 do Interpolate self image to Orange?

I thought I can interpolate the set image to an other image directly but that didnt work well

you can animate with interpolate is that what your looking for, heres a old video I made.

Not really what I ment.
Well the thing here is, I got mining function into my game. You can mine different veins like goldvein, adamantitevein etc.

When the "rock" vein is empty the original image appear as only a empty rock.

I want to interpolate the current vein to the empty vein in 1 sec.
So for instance if the player clicked the vein of gold 10 times its health is 0.
Then I want it to change the image to emptyvein but in a faded way like interpolate.

From this - interpolate to

Spawn the grey actor behind the gold actor then use an Interpolate to Fade the Alpha of the Gold actor to 0.

But that will make the game to heavy if I have like 100 veins?
Is that really the best solution if I want the game as optimized as possible :P?

I try to make the vein fade for each click I make but I cannot as said figure how to interpolate as I wanted it to

Depending on how your game is set up I'd go with jamie_c's suggestion - otherwise you could create the fade as an animation and simply animate between the two images.

on contact.. change touched to touched+1. then if touched is greater than 3 change image to img2 greater than 5 ...change ore collected to collected+1 then destroy actor.

or use 3 images. 1 with alot of visible ore. 1 with half as much ore. 1 with no more ore visible. and make rules toward touched to touched +1. if touch is 3 change to img2 if 5 change to img3.

See the attached. Just this effect alone won't likely slow your game down. Of course other things in the game might, I can't speak for those. Click the gold to mine it...

KIIVIIN

Okey, I will try my best and find a solution mixed up with some of your suggestions!
Else later on I will have to optimize it if needed.

Thank you for the help guys!

If you number your images say r1-r12 you can change the image based on a attribute that counts the number of times it was struck. This way you could have a series of images where each little nugget disappears until the Rock is grey.

So make a self attribute struck (integer)

Constrain attribute self.image to "r"..self.struck..".png"

Rule
When actor is struck (whatever your using)

Change attribute self.struck to self.struck+1
