Overlays not turning opacity down? I'm coding an inventory

RoseF · March 14, 2022, 8:20pm

Hi, I don’t know if it’s a bug, but two of my overlays are not turning from opacity 1 to opacity .5 (@overlay OVERLAYNAME opacity 0 in .5). I am making an inventory with four slots. The overlay names are “MAPCLIPART,” “PROOFBABY,” “CAMERABABY,” and “CODEBABY.” I’m coding it so when a reader taps on one of the overlays, all the overlays go to opacity 0, and I create a second overlay from the overlay that the player chose appears on screen in front of a blurred overlay. I’m having trouble with the overlay “PROOFBABY”. Whenever I click it, the overlays “MAPCLIPART” and “PROOFBABY” disappear (opacity goes to 0), but the others (“CAMERABABY” and “CODEBABY”) do not. Also, I’m having trouble with another item. When the player chooses “CAMERABABY,” everything goes to opacity 0 except the overlay “CODEBABY.” Here’s the code for the problem parts (I have coded the other overlays correctly):

I’m sorry this is so long. And advice is appreciated.

i could be wrong but you might have to put 0.5 instead of .5 when specifying the time

Martini_98 · March 14, 2022, 8:43pm

No. “.5” works the same as “0.5”

willowkayyy · March 14, 2022, 8:45pm

you learn something new everyday, but in that case i have no idea whats wrong here lol

Martini_98 · March 14, 2022, 8:46pm

Same though

Winteronepisode · March 14, 2022, 8:51pm

Where is this label at?

RoseF · March 14, 2022, 9:00pm

It was the label! I can’t believe I forgot to make the label. The inventory_proof_camera was a label before that.

Winteronepisode · March 14, 2022, 9:02pm

Oh, so is your issue resolved? I was moreso asking because I had a different idea as to what was going on, but if that solved it that works too lol
