Black Screen

[benjamminlaner]

When I try to make a basic introductory scene where there is a black screen some dialogue and then a sound effect, I try to transfer my character to another map, but the screen stays black and I don't move to the other map. I'm fairly new at this, so sorry if I'm missing something really obvious. I'll insert the event below. This is in xp.

you'll have to change the screen color tone back to normal. :grin:

Right on my second map I do that i have it so the screen appears black and then it fades in, but it never fades in.

Change Screen Color Tone: (-255, -255, -255, 0) @40

Would you mind posting screenshots of the events on both maps? This could be caused by several things, and we can't tell what without (I'm afraid that this is important) actual screenshots.

(Hit PrtSc, open your paint program, hit Paste, save, upload to Photobucket or whoever, link.)

the "change screen color tone" command changes the screens color, and this color is not changed back until another "change screen color tone" command is used. "transfer player(fade in)" won't change the color tone back again. you will have to use "change screen color tone (0, 0, 0, 0,) when you want it to fade in

Alright I sort-of fixed it, but now i need to know how to do a fade in effect on a new map, and where i might be able to getting a sleeping character graphic.

To chinglogo - When I set the "change screen color tone (0, 0, 0, 0,) would that be on the first map where the character starts or on the second where the character is transferred to. I tried putting it on the second map and it just froze the game.

screen color tone (0,0,0,0) will make the screen normal.
screen color tone (-225,-225,-225,-225) will make it black.

Depends on wether you're using the RTP or custom characters.
If RTP, just look for the character sets with ''Down'' (Like down01 or whatever) and those are basically also the ones who are sleeping. =) (Not for all characters though)

If you have custom characters, then you'll have to make them by yourself, or request it.
