I'm trying to get the effect of something fading in and out of existence using this:
float a = 1.0
do
{
llSetAlpha(a, ALL_SIDES) ;
a = a - 0.1 ;
llSleep(0.1) ;
} while (a > 0 )
and
float a = 0.0
do
{
llSetAlpha(a, ALL_SIDES) ;
a = a + 0.1 ;
llSleep(0.1) ;
} while (a < 1.0 )
However, I'm not getting totality in either direction, only about 90-95%. What's going wrong, please? |

Its 10% out, or 1 iteration.
In your code you increment the variable and then test it, so when it reaches the limit it is tested and exits without the llSetAlpha call being made. try using <= and >=

Aha. Thanks, Newgate! (And I remember our chat a long time ago).

What Newgate said should work, also another work around would be to use -0.1 and 1.1 instead of 0.0 and 1.0.
