I'm using the following script to build an animated HUD for my game.

;Dar13's Scripts

;Header

desc = "animated" HUD

:state=0:hudreset,hudx=50,hudy=50,hudimagefine=gamecore/film/film1.png,hudname=hud#1,hudhide=1,hudmake=display

However... hmm... the script isn't working. The very same image is still displaying on-screen. Any ideas?

I don't see anything wrong with the logic, but I think your timing may be an issue. I think you have the timer set too short and the fadeout is taking longer than the changeover.

Anyway, try something like 1000 intervals or more and see what happens.

Can i disable the fade out and make direct transitions between the huds? Also, what's the minimum possible time interval?

Disabling the fadeout should help. Just use hudhide instead. I guess you are trying to make fluid motion, but with 5 images you are looking at a fraction of a second of motion. You'll just have to experiment.

I'm not having any success. The HUD is still static. I made a few modifications and removed the fade... nothing. Could you try on your end?

You might try getting rid of the # sign in the code. Use hud1, hud2, etc.

Still not working.

Maybe it's not that how we display animated HUDs?

Maybe this will help. It's not for a hud, but perhaps will apply.

Here's my modified version. I already checked the animated menu script, but... that makes me even more sad about this, because, they're almost the same in the "animated logic".

This isn't funny anymore, lol. I can't "animate" the hud. I made a script from scratch, based on the animated menu script. Original, modified and custom versions don't work.

Can any script guru help me out here? I might have missed something very stupid.

If you are looping through then you need to unshow the other huds or all you will see is the one on top. (appearing static)

Try this...

The problem there though is that we did not use a hud0 for 0 to 100 on the timer, so it shoud have been like so to loop it...

...because we don't want a void at the start.

Or you could try this if that doesn't work.... (remove the hud prior to the one displayed)

Thank you so much, guys. Really.

Conjured Entertainment, your script works perfectly. I think i understood why the old one wasn't working. Thanks for the lesson too.

Because your script was here already, so I modified it rather than making one from scratch.
I started with the one here and modified so everyone could see what was going on.
So, ask him why it was here, not me. (first post)

The forums are a learning experience.
Glad I could help.
