(invisable,visable) trigger with a permenant effect until i change

[gamemaker]

I was trying to create a powerpoint with one slide that has a menu and can
make text go in and out to the center screen with triggers and trancparency.
but i found out that the trigger has a bug and only activates once if u put
tracperency in it with the until end of slide option set
if i change this setting i get an undesired effect.

how do i make an invisable object that only reveals itself when one specific
command is given to it ,that works with triggers, and dosnt appear on any
other command

Hi,

I remember this a while ago. Can you make it one percent transparency so it
has a tiny bit of fill?

Dont use transparancy at all is the answer. Have two identical text boxes.
Set box one to exit (say faded zoom) on a click of itself and a with previous
entrance for the other text box with the same trigger. Then set box two to
exit on a click of itself and two to entrance. You will also need to set one
box to disapear with previous when the slide opens

Should look like

text A - disappear , with previous
TRIGGER text B
text B exit
text A entrance, with previous
TRIGGER text A
text A exit
text B entrance, with previous

the triggers are activated by buttons and theres more then 2 buttons

 

[John Wilson]

So just make each button trigger the entrance for one thing and the exit of
all the others

yes but hitting the exit command for all of em would make them all exit at
once which would look funny
