Alpha Problem

[Karuzo]

Hey guys,

i have a problem with my Alpha in my Scoreboard Script.

I want it to fade it in.

but that doesn't really work.

The problem is it sets the alpha to 0 if it reached 255.

And how can i let it fade back if i unpress tab.

  
local alpha = 0 
  
    function Alpha() 
        if alpha < 255 then  
            alpha = alpha + 10  
        end 
    end 
  
  
--Alpha is triggered if i press tab. 
  
  

Hope you can help me

if (alpha >= 255) then 
    alpha = 255 
end 

And added to render event.

I don't understand.

What should that be ?

[iPrestege]

So you want that when you open the scoreboard the alpha changed to '0' As i think and return to '255' When the scoreboard closed?

First thing is it a GUI or DX Scoreboard?

@CVC:

No, it should slowly fade to 255 if i open it.

And if i close the scoreboard it should fade slowly to 0.

@VinnieBwoy:

It's a DX Scoreboard where i just set the color with the alpha .

  
tocolor(255,255,255,alpha)

addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
    function () 
        if (alpha >= 255) then 
            alpha = 255 
        end 
    end 
) 

I got same problem when I was doing animation on DX's ;p

If your animation is done, you can remove this event using removeEventHandler.

[Karuzo]

So like this ?

  
    addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, 
        function () 
            if (alpha >= 255) then 
                alpha = 255 
            elseif (alpha == 0) then 
                 removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, Alpha) 
            end 
        end 
    )

fadeScoreboard = function(keyState) 
    local fadeProgress = 0 
    if keyState == "down" then 
        fadeProgress = fadeProgress+0.01 
        local alphaValue = interpolateBetween(0,0,0,255,0,0,fadeProgress,"InOutQuad") 
        --dxDrawStuff + tocolor(r,g,b,alphaValue) 
        if alphaValue>=1 then 
            removeEventHandler("onClientRender",root,renderScoreboard) 
        end 
    elseif keyState == "up" then 
        fadeProgress = fadeProgress-0.01 
        local alphaValue = interpolateBetween(0,0,0,255,0,0,fadeProgress,"InOutQuad") 
        --dxDrawStuff + tocolor(r,g,b,alphaValue) 
        if alphaValue<=0 then 
            removeEventHandler("onClientRender",root,renderScoreboard) 
        end 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin",root,function() 
    bindKey(source,"tab","both",function(_,keyState) 
        function renderScoreboard() 
            fadeScoreboard(keyState) 
        end 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,renderScoreboard) 
    end) 
end)

        function changeAlpha () 
            if (alpha >= 255) then 
                alpha = 255 
                removeEventHandler("onClientRender", root, changeAlpha)                
            end 
        end 
        addEventHandler("onClientRender", root, changeAlpha)
