So I've taken a break with VAM but I'm back now playing around with some concepts and I just wanted to share a quick WIP.
I've set up a spanking scene. Using SuperRioAmateurs cheek mark mods we can set the alpha to update every spank using Macgrubers count from the logic bricks plugin.
This makes it so the marks show up brighter the more the girl spanks herself.
The effect is pretty cool. But I want to go one step further, I've also set the colour to change up to a bright red using the same method. Which looks really nice but what about when she stops spanking herself? Well we can make it so the marks fade back down to a dull colour again when she stops.
I didn't want to set up a trigger for the fade to happen though as my plan is to have a few options to select.
What I did instead is use Logic Bricks again to set up a timer that every 10 seconds will trigger a second timer, that will then with a delay start a count to reduce the colour back down. So now we have it so as long as the second timer is active the fade will happen. Then I set a trigger in the animation loop to turn off the second timer more often than the first timer turns it on.
There we have it. We have a timer that will start the fade process but while the animation is playing it is switched off again before the fade can start. Of course this process will have a bit more performance impact that setting up triggers manually but I thought its a good way to show the sort of things you can do with the logic bricks program.
I won't claim to be a VAM expert but if you have any questions on the above I'd be very happy to assist :)
