In this add-on, you'll add
a sunrise or sunset to your story.
To start, click on the stage.
If you decide to change your backdrop,
note that this add-on works best on backdrops
that appear to be outside.
Next, drag out a change color effect block.
Select brightness from the drop down menu.
Great. If you click on the block,
the stage gets brighter.
To make this stage continuously get brighter,
drag out a repeat loop.
To make this stage get brighter gradually,
like a real life sunrise, tinker with the
values in the change effect clock and
the repeat loop.
A larger number in the repeat loop and a smaller
number in the change effect block slows
down the effect while a smaller number in the
repeat loop and a larger number in the change
effect block speeds it up.
This example uses zero.5 in the
change effect block.
Great. To make this stage go from night
to day, add a set brightness effect block
and a one flag click block to the top of
this code stack.
Try out different values in the set brightness
effect block, so that your stage won't
be too dark but it will still
look like nighttime.
Using a positive number in this block,
makes the stage brighter.
Try using a negative number to get
your desired effect.
This example uses negative 80.
Test your code and make sure the loop repeats
changing the brightness effect enough times.
This example uses 150 in the repeat loop.
Awesome. You created a sunrise.
To make this stage appear to have a sunset,
change the value in the set brightness effect
block to positive number so that this stage
starts off bright like the daytime.
Then change the value in the brightness effect
block to a negative number like negative zero
point five so that this stage gets darker
like the sun is setting.
Tinker with the values in these blocks
to adjust the brightness of the stage and
the speed of the sunset.
It's up to you, feel free to add a wait block
before the repeat loop so the sunrise or sunset
doesn't happen so quickly.
