SetTimeout function in lua? How to make fadeIn after fadeOut

[pawelpoz]

I have a problem with GameMode.fadeIn(color, length) and GameMode.fadeOut(color, length). First I want fadeOut screen, then fadeIn. But code below doesn't work, because both actions runs together (not second after first) :

Code: Select all

function fadeOutAndInEffect()
GameMode.fadeOut(0, 1)
GameMode.fadeIn(0, 1)
end

I want (for example) fade out screen and after 5 second fade in. How to do that? How to run one action after other in lua? Somethink similar to JavaScript SetTimeout?

And... another question - how to use color corectly: GameMode.fadeOut(color, length). I want green color, and 1 second fadeout. I use this code:

Code: Select all

GameMode.fadeOut(0, 255, 0, 1)

... and doesn't work. It makes fadeout to black with 255 second delay

Please help

Move fadeOut into separate function and call that function with delayedCall (entity, time, function). Check modding reference, there's info how to use delayedCall.

Thank you for reply

I use scripting reference, but i see only delayedCall(receiver, delay, msg) and nothing else about that
