Moving huds :D

Shaders work too with fadeovertime

		{
        hud = newClientHudElem(self);
        hud.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
        hud.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
        hud setShader("white", 640, 480);
        hud.alpha = 1;
        hud.x = 0;
        hud.y = 0;
        hud fadeovertime(2.5);
        hud.alpha = 0;
}

Doesn't work, you tested it with your own texture?
If yes and if it does work, then do a .iwd file and upload here, I want to check it.

Edit: My current HUD script:

		spawnHud()
{
        hud = newClientHudElem(self);
        hud.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
        hud.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
        hud setShader("texture_test", 640, 480);
        hud.alpha = 1;
        hud.x = 0;
        hud.y = 0;
        hud fadeovertime(10);
        hud.alpha = 0;

     self thread destroyOnDeath(hud);
}

destroyOnDeath(hud)
{
    self waittill("killed_player");

    if(isDefined(hud))
        hud destroy();
} 
	

notes:
- spawnHud() will be called if someone is spawning
- destroyOnDeath() will be called if someone die
- the shader "texture_test" is precached
- the hud spawns instantly (visible) and not from visible to invisible

In game it looks like this (after spawned):

The thing I posted works. I use it for flashnade. The shader "white" is a default cod2 shader. I didnt test it with own texture. Maybe you need to compile your shader with certain options to make it work

Is there any way to do a shader from .alpha 0 to .alpha 1 in 5 secounds? I tried it and there is a problem, it just showed the shader instantly. If you try it on the default shader "black", then you will see, that it works. But not on own shaders. I tried already fadeOverTime(time) too, but it doesn't work, only on text.

fadeOverTime() works on shaders as well.

Example of a working fading server logo shader:

		    if( isdefined( level.svrlogo ) ) level.svrlogo destroy();
        
    if( !isdefined( level.svrlogo ) )
    {
        level.svrlogo = newHudElem(); 
        level.svrlogo.x = X; 
        level.svrlogo.y = Y;
        level.svrlogo.hidden = false;
        level.svrlogo.alignX = "left";
        level.svrlogo.alignY = "top";
        level.svrlogo.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
        level.svrlogo.vertAlign = "fullscreen"; 
        level.svrlogo.archived = false;
        level.svrlogo.hideWhenInMenu = true;
        level.svrlogo setShader( game[ "demonlogo" ], W, D );
        level.svrlogo.alpha = 0;
    }
        
    for( ;; )
    {
        
        wait looptime;
        
        if( isdefined( level.svrlogo ) ) level.svrlogo fadeOverTime( 2 );
        if( isdefined( level.svrlogo) ) level.svrlogo.alpha = .7;
        
        wait screentime;
        
        if( isdefined( level.svrlogo ) ) level.svrlogo fadeOverTime( 2 );
        if( isdefined( level.svrlogo ) ) level.svrlogo.alpha = 0;
    }

No, now I found the problem, I looked on the material and image from the shader "black" and "white".
The material name is "black" and the image name is "$black" (open the material from main/iw_13.iwd/materials/black to see what image name it has).
You can also read the options what there is used for the material, but I it's just hard to understand, what they set:

V   \        

                      
   e‘(   
   P   D   P   c   
  \   tools black $black colorMap
