layered visual effects

Post by KennyR » Wed Feb 19, 2014 6:31 pm

Been searching for an answer to this but no luck...Is it possible to trigger two visual effects at the same time and have them applied to the object simultaneously? Example...

on mouseUp
lock screen for visual effect
hide me
unlock screen with visual effect dissolve fast and push right
end mouseUp

now I know that will not work since I have been testing ideas out in the script, but thought I would bounce it off y'all!

Kenny.

Pretty sure visual effects are executed sequentially if queued. The line of code you propose will surely throw an error.

No, visual effects cannot be layered.

Every visual effect have some or the other effect. So, according to me bind these effects in one function and then call those functions accordingly or sequentially.
