Fade to black, stay black while showing a dialog.

[Nemesis6]

This is what I'm trying to do - I want the screen to fade to black, then show some text with intervals, all while it stays black. Using the black in effect with a large delay doesn't really look good.

I know I got it working once, can anyone help me?

Code: [Select]

titleCut [" ","Black Out", 3]
~3
TitleText ["Your text here", "Plain"]
~5
TitleText ["Your text here", "Plain"]
~4
TitleText ["Your text here", "Plain"]
~3
titleCut [" ","Black In", 3]
Will that do? It should work. Of course, you can add more text if you like.

also, if ur doin it after a intro or mission ends, u can do this:

Code: [Select]

player CameraEffect ["terminate","back"]
TitleText ["*ur text here*","PLAIN DOWN"]
~3
TitleText ["*ur text here*","PLAIN DOWN"]
~3
CamDestroy _cam

u can also change the PLAIN DOWN 2 PLAIN, it just depends on where u want da text
PLAIN DOWN - bottom of screen, lik speech text (same concept, just not speech)
PLAIN - middle of screen, lik 'Get Ready' when you load a mission in the MED

Here's a fact that might help in some way.

Text remains on screen for 13 seconds.
