How do I fade from one scene to another?

Post by RawkHawk »

This is probably something easy to figure out, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. How do I fade from one scene to another? For instance, fading from a scene to a cross-examination.

I don't think there are manual fade effects, but you could make a .gif. Fairly pointless, though.

Oh...I thought there were as I saw a few cases with fading in it. So, I assume these are downloaded files used to improve the trial manager? And I assume things such as the Testimony and Cross-Examination signs are added due to these files? Also, the fading isn't as important to me now, as I have a few bigger problems (namely, Ron DeLite's profile disappearing).

No, .gifs are animated image files you make and add manually. The testimony.cross examination images are poses of an automatic character called "Special images" or something.

Ah, I understand. Thank you for your help. One question though: Are these 'special images' for testimonies and cross-examinations external? If so, where can I find them?

When you choose the character for a message, one is calles "Special Pictures" or something. They're all in there :mrgreen:

What did you mean by fading from one scene to another? :) Did you mean fading from one background to another?

Sorry for bumping this, but yes, that's sorta what I meant. For instance, when going from a scene to a cross-examination or a testimony, the scene fades in and out. How do I do that?

You can't. ;) And by fade, do you mean fading into a black colour and then fading out at a different background?

It's among the suggestions that I've not confirmed yet, because I'm not yet sure how to trigger that in game, and I already have many other things to work on. :wink:
