fading ... originally "fading into a fog"

[shadowmimiiru]

Okay, so I made 2 fogs to show a change from sunset (used with screen tone changes) to night. The only problem is that the change is rather drastic. Is there anyway to "fade" into the fog?

Now that I've been pressured convinced to take out my custom fogs I've run once again into the problem of needing to show in real time, on screen (on one map and one map only) the transition between sunset and evening.

Before what I ended up doing was just spamming wait and fog opacity. Obviously, I can't do that now as minute changes/correct changes to screen tones is damn near impossible. So the question has more or less returned. How do I/can I fade into a screentone?

Right now, it's just blinking from sunset to night as if someone flipped a switch.

You mean like a timed fog. Or as your character is walking it becomes more foggy?

There is a "Change Fog Opacity", and a "Change Fog Colortone". both have a Time: x Frames setting.

Yeah but that just puts you right into the fog at it's preset setting. Not to worry though I just did a bunch of wait: __ frames followed by a change fog opacity ___ frames ... so basically.

wait 5 frames

change fog opacity to 100

wait 5 frames

change fog opacity to 125

and so on.

Thanks for the help though.

There is a "Frames" setting on the "Change fog Opacity" dialog. Increase the number to 'fade' the fog.

modified, please see first post.

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I believe this is what you want.

Spoiler

In order to produce a fade in/out effect on a screen color tone, all you must do is change the amount of frames it will take for it to complete (I believe 20 frames is 1 second).

I apologize if I am not hitting the ball, I am still new to this myself.

I think I get it now. The "Change Screen Color Tone" has a max frames of 200.
You want it to take much longer.... (why didn't you say so?)

Use the script command, and enter this...

 

tone = Tone.new(-204,-204,0,0)

$game_screen.start_tone_change\

(tone,1200)

 

Make sure there is no space after the '\'
1200 is the # of frames. 1200 frames = ~1 minute

Be Well
