(Been busy doing a small 3D simulator for iPad3..)<\/p>\n

Customer wanted a thunder sound on the main menu (when entering it),
\nI also added a brigth flash effect for the gui textures (logo, buttons, background).
\nFlash also needs to happen at a given time (to match the sound).<\/p>\n

Version#1<\/strong><\/p>\n

\/\/ variables<\/strong>
\n– take reference to each GUITexture objects, get their textures
\n– variable for flash texture (could be just white blurred box..)<\/p>\n

Awake()<\/strong>
\n– Disable gui textures (you could disable them in inspector, but then you cannot see them in editor..)<\/p>\n

Start()<\/strong>
\n– invoke(“FlashGUI(),1.5);<\/p>\n

FlashGUI()<\/strong>
\n– Change GUITexture color to Color.white, that makes it brighter
\n– If changing color doesnt do it, change gui texture to white texture
\n– invoke(“ShowGUI(),0.2); \/\/ we show the white textures for 0.2sec, then go to switch real gui textures<\/p>\n

ShowGUI()<\/strong>
\n– Change GUITexture color to Color(0.5,0.5,0.5,1), that makes it normal color
\n– If you didnt change color, change gui texture to correct gui texture<\/p>\n

\/\/notes<\/strong>
\n– It might look better with a fast color fade, from bright to normal(?)
\n– You could also do this in the Update() loop: check in which part of the sound is playing (audiosource.time<\/a>)<\/p>\n
