Swirl Transition

“Why do I hear bossfight music?”

What does this do?

Swirl transition is a module that recreates the boss transition from Earthbound/Mother2. The module is OOP based so you can build as many transitions as you like, adjust their properties to your likings and more.

I wrote this to practice some screen effects and OOP. The texture was remade using photoshop.

How to use

Build a swirl transition using the .new(guiBase, useDefaults) constructor.
Set your properties and once done call the :ApplyProperties() method.
Call the :Start() method to play the transition.
When the screen is blacked you can finish the transition by using the :Finish() method.

If you want to play the transition again call the :Reset() method.
:Pause() and :Continue() methods work as you would expect.

You can use the events (FastSignal) inside the transition to coordinate events or functions.
