Authors and contributors to this community extension: 4ian, Entropy, VictrisGames.
Make an object flash for a period of time so that it alternates between two different states. Includes the ability to flash visibility (blink), color tint, object effect, or opacity (fade).
After adding a behavior to an object, you trigger the effect by using the Flash action.
This can be used to:
- Let players know they are invincible after being hit
- Catch player attention on the interface (for instance a "press start" text)
