if you want a simple one you could have Change screen tint = 100 (normal tint) then wait 999, wait 999, wait 999 (like 15 times) then Change screen tint 100 = (dark tint) then wait 999 the same amount of times, and have it loop.

okay,well i want it to be nighttime, and then fade into day and start the cutscene.
i put the tint on complete black, with no fade time, so it will automattically come up black and then fade, but when i play it, you see the screen for half a second, and THEN it is black and starts to fade in.
??

Title: Re: day/night system
Post by: Sandman777 on April 03, 2007, 05:42:44 PM

Post by: Sandman777 on April 03, 2007, 05:47:11 PM

but can you help me with my other problem about the cutscene?
Title: Re: day/night system
Post by: :) on April 03, 2007, 05:50:05 PM
alright at the start have it change screen tint (make it black) 0 frames...then wait (for as long as you want) then change screen tint = normal 100 frames, this will give a fade in look.
Title: Re: day/night system
Post by: Sandman777 on April 03, 2007, 05:51:14 PM
i know, thats what i have. but the screen shows up for half a second, THEN it starts the event.
basically, the screen comes up, then it turns black, then fades in
Title: Re: day/night system
Post by: :) on April 03, 2007, 05:52:24 PM
