Coding Question!

[The King Sic-1™]

if you ever played Rare Akuma, you know his sprites pulse off him.



i'm looking to do that but timed... for a hyper move.

i only need it to do the pulsing for a certain about of time.

can anyone help me with this?

It looks like it's either a Explod or Helper with scaling and alpha properties.

Use a helper. Give it the same anim/animelem as the player and use the Trans and AngleDraw controller.

To do it for a certain amount of time. You can control when the helper appears or disappears with either the AssertSpecial Invisible flag or the creation of the helper.

I'm unsure if the Trans controller works with AngleDraw, but going by what the document says, this is the way to implement it.

That is made with a helper......if you want you can use my code (wich its on shadowjin, and its posted in the spoiler)
