Grey Screen

[guiismiti]

I know it's an old thread, but I'm using it.
Call on player

		blackAndWhiteScreen()
{
    blackandwhite = newClientHudElem(self);
    blackandwhite.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
    blackandwhite.horzAlign = "fullscreen";

    blackandwhite.alpha = 0.5;
    blackandwhite setShader("black", 640, 480);

    wait(20);

    blackandwhite destroy();
} 
	

The only thing is, this isn't actually black and white, it's just darkened.
Although I tried using the attribute color, it didn't change anything. I tried setting it as green and not grey, didn't work.

blackandwhite.color = (0,0.7,0);

You should always set the player flag in front of client elements:

		blackAndWhiteScreen()
{
    // check in case element is already on player's screen
    if( isdefined( self.blackandwhite ) )
        self.blackandwhite destroy();
    
    blackandwhite = newClientHudElem( self );
    blackandwhite.alpha = 1;
    blackandwhite.x = 0;
    blackandwhite.y = 0;
    blackandwhite.alignX = "left";
    blackandwhite.alignY = "top";
    blackandwhite.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
    blackandwhite.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
    blackandwhite.foreground = true;
    blackandwhite.color = (0.502, 0.502, 0.502);
    blackandwhite setShader( "white", 640, 480 );        
    
    self.blackandwhite = blackandwhite;

    wait( 20 );
    
    // always check for defined element in case player has disconnected. If you don't it will throw an error
    if( isdefined( self.blackandwhite ) )
        self.blackandwhite destroy();
}
