This is copied from my post on www.gamefaqs.comI started on a whole new game recently(I ditched Berry Land because I just can't make stupid games with no plot) I tried making a start up screen but it didn't work out. First off, its going to be a map. First I want it to be night time. I want the camera to at first zoom out to about 700(the option goes up to 1000). Thats not the problem though. After I get it to zoom out I want the music and the name to come up at the same time. So far the script looks like this: Time: Night Zoom out 700(forget the exact command) Apply Together: BGM:Explore 4(I think thats the song, but I can't remember) Visual Effects: The Two Realms(Which is the name of the game) Problem 1: The Visual Effects look so bad when it comes up. Its just too plain and boring. I can't seem to make it look special. Also, its facing the wrong side and I can't seem to make it appear where I want it on the screen. Also, when I put the night effect on I want it to be night at the very beginning, and not change so you can see it turn to night. Although I might just do that if I can't figure it out. Next I want to have the camera start to rotate. After that I want the "Start" command to start blinking and when you press a button, the choices come up New Game, and Load Game. Problem 2: I have absolutely no clue how to make the "Start" command blink and then make it change into New Game and Load Game. Please help!!!!!!! Thanks in advance.

How are you displaying the effect? Is it on an event or set to viewpoint?
I use events because it is easier to control and can be rotated and moved, etc.
Try playing that way.
As for making it look special, try colors and moving stuff around. You can make the letters fly in together or separately. They can flash.
Have fun.
THAT'S AN ORDER!!!
Problem 2: I have absolutely no clue how to make the "Start" command blink and then make it change into New Game and Load Game.
Use the transparency. make it loop from 0 to 100%.
To make it change you will need to use two effects and change them out as needed.
I hope that helps.
My VFX Guide is coming out soon and will help more with the scripting.
Peace.
