How make Blinking

[rune]

Hi everyone,
A very simple question. I would like to make the effect of a sprite flash your image or a text appear flashing. Ex: a press start instruction

Thanks

a = AddSprite(1,1)
PropSprite a,1,0
ax = 200
ay = 200


While 1
counter++
If counter = 5 Then MoveSprite a,ax,ay
If counter = 10 Then
MoveSprite a,0,0
counter = 0
End If
Sleep 1
Wend

I was going to edit the post above, but it got messy when I tried.

Anyway, I used the ax and ay variables in case you wanted to add in a flicker effect to a moving sprite. If the flickering sprite is always going to be static, you can just hardcode the values.

If the AI ​​of the enemies reacts to the player’s coordinates (X/Y), then it’s better:



a = AddSprite(1,1)

PropSprite a,1,0
ax = 200
ay = 200
MoveSprite a,ax,ay

While 1

counter++
If counter = 5 Then
PropSprite a,1,0
End If

If counter = 10 Then
PropSprite a,300,0
counter = 0
End If

Sleep 1

Wend

The variables ax and ay already contain the sprite coordinates, so your changes are unnecessary, and wouldn't work very well when your VRAM is full.
