Simple Cog ... for coggers:

I have been working with some cogs for my level, but I am stuck on this:
I want a cog to make a bright white flash (like force blind) that fades away back to normal viewing in like 3-5 seconds when I enter a sector. I am still learning with cog, and have no way for me to go about this. Oh yea, and this is for Single Player. (All who help get full credit.)

Adddynamicadd(Player, 255, 255, 255);

 


The flash is considerably shorter than 2 or 3 seconds, but its the easiest way to do what you are describing.

That cog will create a white flash each time the player enters the sector.

If that isnt what you wanted, respond with further details.

Alright, thanks alot!
PS: is the 255, 255, 255 the colors? That would be great if I could change it ... I didn't know you could. (If it isn't, don't worry about it. )

I have you down in the readme! Thanks!

if the flash is too short for you, just have a pulse started when the player enters the sector and in the pulse message, you do the flash as described above...you could also make it fade out this way. And yes, the values define the color Red Green and Blue, the higher, the brighter.
