From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki
Alpha represents the transparency of a gui element. This function allows retrieval of a gui element's current alpha.
Syntax
float guiGetAlpha ( element guiElement )
Required Arguments
- guiElement: The gui element in which you want to retrieve the alpha of.
Returns
This function returns a positive integer in between 0 and 1 of the gui element's current alpha, or false if it could not be retrieved.
Example
This example provides a guiFade function, which allows you to fade in/out a GUI.
function guiFade( gui, state ) if state == "in" then -- This state will fade IN the GUI fadeIn = setTimer(guiFade, 50, 1, gui, state) -- We loop the function to make it lower the alpha each 50 ms alpha = guiGetAlpha(gui) -- We get the GUI's actual alpha after each loop guiSetAlpha(gui, alpha - 0.1) -- We set the GUI's actual alpha after each loop if alpha == 0 then -- If the loop reached "0"... guiSetVisible(gui, false) -- We set the GUI visibility to 0 so it won't be clickable or editable killTimer(fadeIn) -- ... We kill the timer fadeIn = nil -- And to make sure it doesn't exist anymore, we set it to nil end elseif state == "out" then -- This state will fade OUT the GUI guiSetVisible(gui, true) -- Since the GUI will still be click-able, we'll set it's visibility to "false" fadeOut = setTimer(guiFade, 50, 1, gui, state) -- We loop the function to make it higher the alpha each 50 ms alpha = guiGetAlpha(gui) -- We get the GUI's actual alpha after each loop guiSetAlpha(gui, alpha + 0.1) -- We set the GUI's actual alpha after each loop if alpha == 1 then -- If the loop reached "1"... killTimer(fadeOut) -- ... We kill the timer fadeOut = nil -- And to make sure it doesn't exist anymore, we set it to nil end end end -- NOTE: If you're using a button to pop up the GUI-Element. Use "guiSetEnabled" along with the button. You'll have also to set a timer in order to disable it by the time it fades, either way it will bug.
