Hi, i know this has been asked and solved a billion times before but i searched and can't find it and i just can't figure it out. How do you make a panel fade away. I have the "logolite.pcx" as my splash screen, then my title screen comes up which is a black background and letters. I have my black background (which by the way is i bmp) set as a panel with the alpha of 100. Here is my code.
bmap startup_screen = <startup.bmp>;
panel start_screen
{
bmap = startup_screen;
alpha = 100;
flags = transparent, refresh;
}
function main()
{
...
...
start_screen.visible = on;
fade();
...
...
}
function fade()
{
while (start_screen.alpha > 0)
{
start_screen.alpha -= time;
wait(1);
}
}
when my start up screen shows, "logolite.pcx" is still visible in the background due to the "transparent" flag, which i read in the manual, has to be set in order for this to work.
WTF am i doing wrong?
