Blinking text

Hello, how can do blinking text ?

[Castillo]

You can set the alpha of the text.

[papam77]

with setTimer ?

[Castillo]

Yes, you can use a timer.

Ok, thank you

[Castillo]

You're welcome.

Or, if you're using "dxDrawText" you can use "math.random" for the alpha.

Or, if you're using "dxDrawText" you can use "math.random" for the alpha.

Blinking is usually subsequent, using math.random is not needed. If I saw unordered blinking in a server I'd cut my throat. I have a very fast reaction time, I can count in milliseconds, so I would notice this, not sure of others.

If it was DX Text, I'd either use a timer to modify an Alpha Variable, or I would add this to the onClientRender:

speed = 20 
blink = (blink or 0) + 1 
if blink == (speed / 2) then 
    alpha = 255 
elseif blink == speed then 
    alpha = 0 
end 

You would need to add the alpha value to your DX Text.

P.S ( Reason I can count in milliseconds is because I meditate and I also play very time dependent games )
