Call me an idiot for not being able to figure this out...anyone wanna help me?

I'll right down what I want, and hopefully one of you can script it for me. Below I will post 3 times at which I want an image to pop up briefly and then disappear. It's the same image.

[pop up - disappear]
02.27.02 - 02.27.28
02.27.53 - 02.27.79
02.28.05 - 02.28.31

So script this, how would it be done?

4,0,1,"image.png",x,y
_F,0,147020,147020,1,1
_F,0,147280,147280,0,0

you can leave x and y in the sprite's instantiation and it won't throw a parse error? Did not know that. I just sometimes threw in spurious numbers, myself.

Flipping does work because Echo and I have both tested successfully. Can you give a specific example?

Rotating while moving should also be fine - as long as you set the sprite to centre-based origin.

You can storyboard on top of a video. Loginner did a little bit of that with his Dodongo map, and peppy did it with his m-flo one.

Questions:
1. Can I storyboard "fail" only?
2. Can I add strobes during fail part of storyboard?
3. If the answer to 1 and 2 are both "yes", brief explanation pls.

Thanks.
Got it working now.

Got one question.

Can the "fail" storyboard be activated whenever the player reaches x hp instead of having it activated whenever a player got a 100/50/X?

open your .osb or .osu file, find the entry with the video, and edit the second field.

Partly incorrect. Check the design mode panel for a slidebar which will let you adjust the offset.

Just curious, is it possible to storyboard on top of everything, including notes and the like?

Which takes me to:

4,0,0,"Remila-Flandre-Sakuya.jpg",0,0

But now the pictures are slowly fading in, and the full colored picture displays when it's about to end and go on to the next picture. What can I do to make the fade ins faster, if possible?

What these parameters means? I know that three last (0,0,0) means colors (red,green,blue), but what about 3,100?

To understand how it works, it may be useful to try using it.

I have a question: the "startx,starty,endx,endy" are positions, not scale factors, why can it be 100% or 200%?

More than likely it implies "startxscale,startyscale,endxscale,endyscale".

For a storyboarder, timing are the most important thing on storyboarding especially if you cannot copy paste the sprites from the editor, which has to be done on the .osb. But due to different timing system on .osb, this might be a problem for the storyboarder since he doesn't know how to convert the timing on editor into timing on .osb.
