Preon Attempt

Hi there, I’ve been messing around in the Style Editor trying to get this preon to work. In the editor trwipe shows a solid deepskyblue wipe up the blade for 6000ms. But when I flash it to my saber the wipe up is black? no color.
Im using OS7.15
Thanks for any help

As written, that style (at preon time) will show:

  • a DodgerBlue based AudioFlicker at the emitter end for 8 seconds.
  • then wipe in DeepSkyBlue for 6 seconds (there’s a pointless TrInstant in there BTW)
  • then after that, for 5 seconds it shows…something. Not sure what you were building here.
    Your last color is a mix, starting with a DodgerBlue quivering around at the tip end of the blade based on NoisySoundLevel, and randomly changes transparency based on NoisySoundLevel, and ramps down to a BrownNoiseFlicker version during the first 2000 seconds of preon, stays there for 2 seconds, then changes back to DodgerBlue.
    By the time this is shown, it’s too late, as all the other things happened in the meanwhile (for the first 14 seconds) so it’s all done already and you only see “DodgerBlue quivering around at the tip end of the blade” for the last 5 seconds.

You should change the delay in your Trigger<> to be 140000 so the last color shows.

It should show fine. 19 seconds is a long ass preon, but… ok.
Are you sure you have this layer written under the InOutTrL in your style? (so it can show in front of the Black the InOutTrL is showing).
If the EFFECT_PREON layer is covered by the Black “color when off” of the InOut, then you won’t see the preon at all.

Hi NoSloppy yeah it’s pretty long, the wav file is 19 sec long.
I forgot to add ‘black’ before the trwipe. The end 5 seconds is a noisy explosion sound.

Thanks I’ll get rid of the extra TrInstant
