Hi guys our project is going on very well but now we have some questions.

Q1) We want to simulate the movement of a textline trought a timer.


In a code like that i can obtain the movement i want but i would to delete the previous text and print the new one on the screen to simulate a movemente, but i can't figure which command to use.

Q2)Is it possible to make a text to fade? Or other transiction effect?

To do this, I would just use a sprite. This will also allow you to
fade, resize, etc quite easily. I have modified your code to do this.



What I'm doing here is printing the text to the screen, and then
grabbing it with the GET IMAGE command, then I make it into a
sprite. So basically I am turning the text into an image and
displaying that to the user.

I then make it slowly fade away using the SET SPRITE ALPHA command.

Thank you very much for your post, very useful, but unfortunately when the code reachs that code (properly adapted to my code) everything in the game frezes until the fading/movement process is complete...

How can improve this situation?

...And another thing is that the GET IMACE grab a part of the screen, so if we have a background it grabs also the text and the background. D:

How can solve?

Well, to solve the first problem, you would need to place everything
in the loop into your main program loop.

A little more info on what you are specifically trying to accoplish would help.

Sure mate.

We want to make a fading text on clickable objects in the game.
This fading text moves a little until it go close to the object (top).

Ex:
Something like: "Oh well that's a box! What can i do with it?" *Mouse over the box*... A fading text came in moving at the top of the object:"Click to open!"

Understood?
For any other details please ask me.
Thanks a lot for your help!
