Darken Screen

[C.R.O.M. Zaxis]

I want one of my characters to have a certain effect when performing a hyper.  I want the screen to go black, and for images to appear.  How do I make the screen go black?

Totally black, or just the BG?

type = bgpalfx
trigger1 =
add = 255,255,255
mul = 0,0,0
time =

That'll turn the BG black, you have some stuff to fill in.

Turn everything black you use type = Allpalfx. Any explods you create will need to be set with ownpal = 1 or they'll be black too. If you wish to make your character/opponent visible at random times the opponent will need to be in a custom state and you will need to reset the palfx to normal then black again.

Thank you!   So I just add this at the end of the Hyper section of his cns?  Im not very good at coding at all.  Sorry.  Im a little new at it.

Try it and see. The worst that will happen is mugen will crash. The best is it will work.

Either way you learn something.

It worked! sorta.  I wanted Player 2 to also not be visible during the duration, but that is not the case.

[State 3000, 3]
type = Allpalfx
trigger1 = AnimElem = 1
add = 255,255,255
mul = 0,0,0
time = 300

Here is what I put in (no changes beyond the time).  What should I do to make this affect P2?

[Cyanide]

That should affect p2 as well. If it's not he's applying his own palfx to override it.

Is this a move where you hit him before it goes black? There are a couple of other options. One is using envcolor, but the only things that will bypass that are explods with ontop = 1, the other is to make a black explod and scale it up to giant so it covers the screen then increase it's sprpriority.
