Black in/out

[Stag 0]

Anybody know a way to control the duration of the blackin/out effect? as it stands its just a wee bit to fast for my purposes.

I did search, but if its been discussed before the thread is pretty elusive.

Thanks in advance.

titleCut ["","BLACK IN", 10]

blacks in in 10 seconds

titleCut ["","BLACK OUT", 3]

blacks out in 3 seconds

Wow, that was quick!

Many thanks, Mr. K.

Anyone know if there's any way to get the time to advance to a specific point, or, failing that, displaying the time in title text?

I don't know about that, but to show just normal text use:</span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">titleCut ["TEXT","BLACK IN", 10]

<span id='postcolor'>

use skipTime hours

and I'm not sure if this is the right one but

dayTime should return the game time.

THAT's what I was after. Finally, Can anyone see why this doesn't work?

skiptime 5;titlecut[dayTime,"plain",10]

try using the format command.

skiptime 5; titleText [format["%1", dayTime], "plain", 10]

as a sidenote, if you do a fade and then try to put words over it, whichever is called last will negate the first. as in, black out, then put "Hello, World" over it will negate the black out.

the way to get around this is to use cutText and titleText, use one for the fade, the other for words.

Thanks Dismas, That's what I was after, though the number returned is in base 10 (not a major problem) and to 5 decimal places.

Now to figure out a way to get it to return only the first three.
