Image switching

[Taka]

Hello.

Let me ask you a question.
I want the three elements to alternate one second at a time. (at the same coordinates)

I was able to use a timer to display the two elements alternately, but when it comes to three, I don't really understand.


I apologize for asking a simple question every time.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can use a timer to add +1 to a number variable.
Then loop it back to 0.
So the variable will change to 0, 1, 2 then back to 0.
Then each image will have a visible logic block reacting to the number.

Thank you Hopki.
If you don't mind, could you tell me how to set variables a little more clearly?
It is a field I am not good at.

Hi,
No worries, this is used a lot in different projects, for example, the gallery component.
Please see attached project.

How it works.
First, set a numbered variable in the skin, I am using the variable name: var_change which starts at 0.
You will see three rectangles representing your three elements, Rectangle 1 to 3.
Each rectangle has visible deselected and a visible logic block and visible set up as so:

This is for Rectangle 1, RED.
So if the variable var_change = 0 it is visible.
Rectangle 2, Green will have the value set to 1 and Rectangle 3, Blue will have its value set to 2.

A timer is added to the skin set to Start, 0.5 seconds and Toggle.

The timer will spend 0.5 seconds Active, then 0.5 seconds Deactivate.
As I am only using the Activate source action it will take 1 second between active states.

The timer then has two actions, the first changes the variable value with each activate state:
So it is adding +1 to the variable number, counting up, 0, 1, 2 etc.

The second action loops the variable count:

Look at the action, when it gets to 3, it loops back to 0, so it does not actually get to 3.
The variable number will count: 0, 1, 2, 0, 1, 2 and so on.

As the variable, var_change counts the different Rectangles show and hide as their visible logic blocks react to the numbers.

Thank you Hopki
I'll try it right away.

It went well!
Thank you.

I applied it to three patterns of floorplan map pins.
The number of nodes in floorplan is 250.

After adapting, I feel the project has become very heavy.
Are there any measures?
I want to keep it as comfortable as possible.

Hi,
It will help to understand more about your project and where this is being used.
