Pulse Triggers are triggers that change a color channel or group into another color for a set amount of time. A lot of Geometry Dash levels uses pulse triggers to create flashy effects & neat color changes in deco. This guide will explain how to use pulse triggers.
The pulse trigger has a built-in color editor and multiple features:
“Fade In” modifies the time it takes to fade into the color.
“Hold” allows you to hold that color for an assigned time.
“Fade Out” modifies the time it takes to fade out the color.
Additionally, there are two togglable options:
Pulse Mode lets you set whichever color editor type you would like ("Color" which allows you to use a color wheel to set your desired color, or "HSV" which allows you to alter aspects of the existing color such as hue, saturation and brightness).
Target Type sets the pulse trigger to either a color channel ID or a Group ID (Color or Group). Note that when selecting a group, you have the option to make it a main detail or a detail only pulse. This means the pulse will only affect the first or second color channel on an object, instead of both.
The video below shows a basic use of the pulse trigger in practice.
