Flashing actor doesn't work

Hi,

I almost feel bad asking this since the problem is likely very simple, but I haven't solved it.
I want to make an actor flash when respawned. My code is:

repeat n times
    fade last created Actor to 0% over 0 sec using none
    do after s seconds
        fade last created Actor to 100% over 0 sec using none

I've attached the whole respawn event. It creates the player in the center of the screen, makes it temporarily invulnerable, and is supposed to flash the player.

i think a repeat loop will run over and over and not stop with a timed event.. so you wont see a flash until the last loop.

I would make an actor block, attach to that actor that you can call, that has a timer event in it, that does the flashing for you, and call it once.

So i would create an Actor block that has a do every section in it, and pass in a number (time) to flash for
So the actor flashes using its only behaviour..

Maybe have a behaviour that is disabled, and activate that behaviour when you need it to flash, then disable the behaviour when you want it to stop. Something along those lines..

Move the flashing to a When  Created event for the actor. Then you don´t have to control it further as it happens only once.
And I try to avoid sticking too much in a When killed event.

Why not create it as an animation? That animation will play on spawn, and then change it to the default animation after however long you want.

Thanks for your help. I combined noxtudio's and gplar's solutions.

I created a Behavior for flashing:
Do every X seconds
    fade in
    do after y seconds
        fade out

Then I attached this Behavior to the Actor. In a When Created block, I enable that behavior then disable it after a few seconds. I also use  Boolean so it only flashes after a respawn, not the initial spawn. Works well and this way I can easily invoke the Flash behavior from any event. Its timing variables are hard coded for now but I'm sure there's a way any calling code can pass in values for them. This way the flashing behavior can be event-specific.

I wonder if there is a bug lurking here: suppose you aren't careful with your timing and the Flash behavior is disabled during a fade in/out or in between fade out and fade in? Will you be stuck with a half-transparent or invisible Actor?
