Incrementing a value at run time w/o depending on deltatime

Postby jaysadasao » Wed Feb 01, 2017 5:32 pm

I want to use the Burn Dissolve shader in order to make a character dissapear, so I want to increment the Dissolve Amount value in runtime.

However the only way I could find to do it is connected to the time since level load, and if I use the time since level load an object will simply vanish automatically if I apply the shader to it a long time after the scene is loaded. Or if I want to instantiate an object mid game using the dissolve burn shader it will already be created transparent.

Here's a snippet of what I am doing right now - https://imgur.com/a/xY6hY


So I'd like to know how can I implement a sort of counter based on time (*not* time since level load) which I can use to apply this effect.

Hope I made myself clear.

On an unrelated note - Are you using some kind of UI Skin override? The Node text is supposed to be white.
