I'm trying to create a day/night cycle that uses pictures to add extra lighting effects. The change between pictures was too abrupt, so I added a parallel process event with many pictures at different opacities to create a smoother transition. But the transition repeats over and over again. I added a self switch and a page with the single full opacity picture, and that works for one period of day(morning), but the single picture stays through all the other time periods. If I add a switch for morning on the second page, the event starts at the second page and is again too abrupt. I had originally added the pictures to the Common Event that controlled tints, but that didn't work because of the repetition.


Can you please help either get the parallel process to end at the last picture command, or get the self-switch-full-opacity picture to go away after the morning switch is off? This would be very useful to know for other events too.

Here are the common events that are tied to it.

This is what the evening should look like, just one light source in the north west.

And this is what the morning looks like, two light sources in both the east and west.
