I can't seem to remember the simplest thing :facepalm @ myself.

Its been months since I touched XP and I forgot about it. I've been using VX lately (youtube episodes) and no matter what, I can't seem to do it.

I know this may sound like a easy and simple question and I know I knew it before....but how do I, in XP, make the screen fade, transfer character (I know that part at least lol) and then have the screen unfade out? When I do it, the screen stays black. I knew this at one point, but I forgot lol


Can anyone help me........?

*sorry for such the novice question -sigh-*

Thanks for reading!

Even I get this happening all the time... It happens because when it transfers it doesnt do anything after it. What you want is probally something like this:

Change Screen Colour Tone (-255, -255, -255), @20 (frames)
Wait 25
Change Screen Colour Tone (0, 0, 0), @20 (frames)
Transfer Player

That way the player transfers while the screen is unfading. Another way to do this is just to add a parallel process event on the new map that sets it to whatever tone you need. Hope this helps.

This is why I use VX. It fades the screen for you upon transfer

Actually

Change Screen Colour Tone (-255, -255, -255), @20 (frames)
Wait 25
Transfer Player
Change Screen Colour Tone (0, 0, 0), @20 (frames)
Wait 25


Then they have to wait till it fades back before they can move.

This gives me a great idea for a script. Maybe something to work on for myself. Thanks, Crimson!

[CrimsonInferno]

Thanks for helping me guys! I can't believe I forgot how to do this. I guess my break to VX really messed me up lol

I tried both those ways, but the screen never unfades >.>

@Leon:
A script? Well, glad I helped/inspired you ^,^

[Polraudio]

it should. thats why there is a "Change Screen Colour Tone (0, 0, 0), @20 (frames)"

Change Screen Colour Tone (-255, -255, -255), @20 (frames) - Fades completely black after 20 frames
Wait 25
Transfer Player
Change Screen Colour Tone (0, 0, 0), @20 (frames) - Un-Fades completely after 20 frames
Wait 25

You sure you set all the sliders back to the center for the last Change Screen Colour Tone?

I just posted a script that should help make this easier.

[CrimsonInferno]

Okay, I thought I checked the "unfade" back to 000s. I left one lol

Thanks Lucas!

Heh, someone asks how to do a simple thing in RMXP and you go out of your way to make a script for the problem. xD

Nice.
