Hey everyone,
I'm building a level and a part has triggers that pulse the screen with BG Triggers that flash the background with a different color each time. However, that only happens inside the editor. When you actually play the level, only the first trigger works. Here's a video showing it:
And here's a screenshot showing how I used the triggers to change the color (I know I messed it up a lil bit xd):
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forums BackThePortal ! Remember to read the forum rules (by clicking here) before you post more.  It looks like it does flash; however, in the editor you used the music sync tester to show them flashing, while in the actual level there's a speed change that causes the level (and those color triggers) to act much more quickly. (in the editor the flashes happen at 1x speed, but in the level you have a 4x speed when entering the wave portal; since the wave flies past the color triggers 4 times faster, the triggers flash 4 times faster, making it look like nothing happens) You're not actually doing anything wrong, this is working as the game mechanics intend! Try playtesting the level instead if you can get through the wave again, and move the triggers farther apart (while keeping them somewhat on sync with the music) if you can so the flashing is more visible, if you want. |

Thanks, that worked! I'll read the rules too. |
