Make Entire Screen Flash

So I know (through searching) that you can easily simulate a flash by using a white sprite over everything but with the WebGL and the example given by Construct 2 : WebGL Shader luminance transition, I want to be able to recreate this effect in my project but just simply copying the events over isn't working.

I also can't seem to find what has been done outside of the events page.

Any ideas?

P.S. Hello world! (1st post ever)

Bumping this up...

Have you copied the global variables too and added the WebGL effect to the layer?

It also gets a little more complicated than that as the event code in the example works by manipulating the "luminance" depending on how much in-game time has passed since the start of the game.

As in, the effect begins the moment you start the game and ends in about 2 seconds.

So if you want it to work as an effect you can trigger on a certain condition, you will need to make some changes.

I think the example given is actually quite flexible and doesn't require much editing to turn it into a triggered effect, you just need to get an idea of the in-game time and how it works and know what you're doing, and adapt it to your needs and events.

Just need to practice and toy around with it.

Yeah I transferred everything and I get how to do triggers. Ive been messing around with c2 for a week now and I understand a lot of the events stuff and making things on my own.

I never noticed that where exactly the WebGL effect was added to and I think that was the issue. Looking at the example given also doesnt say that the layer had the WebGL effect I guess i'll just mess around some more.

Edit: Oh wow okay. I am dumb. I just realized in the events is where the WebGL effect is added <img src="smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0" align="middle" />
