[Request] getTitleEffectName SQF command to be able to determine if there is a black/white title effect active
Closed, ResolvedPublic
Actions

Description

titleEffectName [string] = getTitleEffectName layerID [number];

The engine destroys the layer after the effect time with "WHITE/BLACK IN" - needs be to accounted for.
Reference to non existent layer should return empty string.

from the cutXXX and titleXXX command family
ie https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/cutRsc
https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/titleText

https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Title_Effect_Type

This is to be able to hide GUI elements during cutscenes and other common uses of black/white screen.

Thanks for the consideration!
