hello people,
how do i make images blink? like in a special effects flare when a gun is firing bullets.
how do i make my gun (an object) go back and forth as a vibration when firing bullets?
thankx for advance.

just do hide/show object or image or sprite or whatever you are using for the flashing and as for the vibration look in the iced demo code

i'm using a MOUSECLICK() command i cant HIDE and SHOW an item when using that command, its either hide or show. so i cant just say
"if mouseclick()=1 then hide sprite : show sprite", it makes no sence.
as for the iced demo, he shoots only a single bullet, i'm using a machine gun sorry if i didnt tell u that! i dont need a realistic vibration, a trick on positions would do, just how can i change positions repeatedly (eg. position object gun,2,2,3 : position object gun,2,2,-3)

Have it based on a timer...

If mouseclick=1
inc mousefire,1
if mousefire>0 then show sprite 1
if mousefire>1 then hide sprite 1
if mousefire=3 then mousefire=0
endif

just do the vibration repeatedly. and as for the show and hide image i meant use show or hide so like:
if fire=1 then show image 1
if fire=0 then hide image 1
