Bit of help with 3 Things

[Doan Sephim]

Glad to be of help 
It helps that my title screen is very similar to what you're doing. I look forward to seeing your title screen!

I know it feels good to get it done...I was quite proud when I got my screen done...sounds silly, but it's true!

Doan/MI, you can leave out the "= cycles 20" thing by providing a reference back to the shimmerScript. That way you don't need to know how many cycles it takes.  When the cycler is done, it will call the cue method on shimmerScript, which will call changeState with the next state.

Code: [Select]

(instance shimmerScript of Script
    (properties)
    (method (changeState newState)
        = state newState
        (switch (state)
            )(case 1
                 (shimmer:setCycle(End shimmerScript))
            )(case 2
                 (shimmer:setCycle(Beg shimmerScript))
            )(case 3
                 (shimmerScript:changeState(1)) // make it all loop around forever!
            )
         )
    )
)

Ah nice! Thanks for that.

Good to know! I thought there was a way to do that, but I wasn't sure!

BTW I've posted the demo in the KQ2SCI thread in the SCI games forum.
