Fade out/in method

熊喵酱

In order to make window dispose more nature is to make is fade out.
==========================================
First, add def pre_terminate Into the script anywhere.(out side of any other method)
Then add a method "fade" and"dispose"
It should look like this.

1.   def pre_terminate
   
2.     fade
   
3.     dispose
   
4.   end

复制代码

Then below it we add  def fade and def dispose
In dispose, you dispose all the window, kind of obvious what to do.....
So we just skip the def dispose
And go to def fade
We are going to use the loop do method to help us
Let's use the Menu Scene as our example...
This is how it should look like....
If XXX is not more than 1, it exit the loop do(using"break") if it's more than 1, it does"........"part over and over

1.   def fade
   
2.     loop do
   
3.       if XXX > 1
   
4.          ..........................
   
5.       else
   
6.         break
   
7.       end   
   
8.     end

复制代码

The xxx should be whatever the window you have in your scene like @status_window.opacity
So let's switch to this.....

1.   def fade
   
2.     loop do
   
3.       if @status_window.opacity > 1
   
4.         ............
   
5.       else
   
6.         break
   
7.       end   
   
8.     end

复制代码

OK, we will do the ......... part over and over again until @status_window.opacity if more than one.
So we can add @status_window.opacity -= 1 as the .............
Which will fade out the window's opacity by 1 and 1
Also we could add other window's as well!
If you're sure that all window's opacity will be the same (Should be......)
you can just add them toghter... like under @status_window.opacity -= 1 you put @gold_window.opacity -= 1 which will fade out both of them!
So our finishing thing should look like this: (for Meun Scene)

1.   def pre_terminate
   
2.     fade
   
3.     dispose
   
4.   end
   
5.   def fade
   
6.     loop do
   
7.    # a = @status_window.opacity
   
8.       if @status_window.opacity > 1
   
9.         @gold_window.opacity -= 1
   
10.         @command_window.opacity -= 1
    
11.         @status_window.opacity -= 1
    
12.         @variable_window.opacity -= 1
    
13.       else
    
14.         break
    
15.       end   
    
16.     end
    
17.   end
    
18.   def dispose
    
19.     @ActorPortrait.dispose
    
20.     @gold_window.dispose
    
21.     @command_window.dispose
    
22.     @status_window.dispose
    
23.     @variable_window.dispose
    
24.   end

复制代码

For the other scene, it's exactly the same as well!

I prefer to use update method instead of using a loop.
Here is a script I wrote a year ago that uses the update method to perform animations

Just copy the script into your project and then copy one of the examples I posted under it and open the menu in the game.

So basically, I just keep update the window's opacity until it meets the required amount?
but what I don't get is, what is update different from loop do?
(I know I maybe am being stupid, but I just don't get it.....)

The update method is called once every frame. It updates everything like graphics and input and events.

If you loop, the game does not update the graphics, so everything will just freeze until you exit the loop.
