Title Animation

[paoling]

Here a very little and nice thing that I want to show you:

(just for contributing a little in this forum

Since, if I don't get wrong there aren't "on controller release" triggers, and neither On Mouse Up triggers I used a little trick for this kind of fading animation, using PGS, while and wait functions, and font types. Don't know if there's a smarter way.

This is a nice way to allow text labels on a very graphical UI that doesn't like Kontakt's fonts. (You can achieve a better effect with a custom slider for numerical values, but this is tricky since you can't use text in this way (if not melded in the background).

Interesting thing, using while and wait. I made a similar thing for fade-up or in of send signals. But did you manage to use TCM for avoiding conflicts in wait commands? I do not know how that works, but if you have a good grasp on it, would love to know. The docs are above my grade. :/

Cool fading effect!

XY pads have that.

It's relatively simple. Write your function as a taskfunc, use tcm.wait() instead of wait() and for all variables you expect would be re-entered (i.e., variables you want to preserve for each concurrent function call), you need to declare them within the function body WITHOUT "local" keyword.

Well it was 8 years ago, so something new to KSP and Nils Editor has been added in the meantime :D

Thanks, looking into taskfunctions now.
