Fade Flags
These may not be correct...
FFADE_IN 0x0001 // Just here so we don't pass 0 into the function FFADE_OUT 0x0002 // Fade out (not in) FFADE_MODULATE 0x0004 // Modulate (don't blend) FFADE_STAYOUT 0x0008 // ignores the duration, stays faded out until new ScreenFade message received FFADE_PURGE 0x0010 // Purges all other fades, replacing them with this one
Fade Function
Example Fade function (be sure to define the Fade Flags!)
This Fades the clients screen to a specified color, and stays until you reset the color to {0,0,0,0}
To modify it to Fade the screen for a certain amount of time, remove the STAYOUT flag, and pass a value to "fade & hold"
PerformFade(target, 500, {0, 128, 255, 51})
PerformFade(client, duration, const color[4]) {
new Handle:hFadeClient=StartMessageOne("Fade",client)
BfWriteShort(hFadeClient,duration) // FIXED 16 bit, with SCREENFADE_FRACBITS fractional, milliseconds duration
BfWriteShort(hFadeClient,0) // FIXED 16 bit, with SCREENFADE_FRACBITS fractional, milliseconds duration until reset (fade & hold)
BfWriteShort(hFadeClient,(FFADE_PURGE|FFADE_OUT|FFADE_STAYOUT)) // fade type (in / out)
BfWriteByte(hFadeClient,color[0]) // fade red
BfWriteByte(hFadeClient,color[1]) // fade green
BfWriteByte(hFadeClient,color[2]) // fade blue
BfWriteByte(hFadeClient,color[3]) // fade alpha
EndMessage()
}
HudMsg Function
This does not work in CS:S.
This Draws a text Message to a specified players screen. This is just for educational purposes and there is a much easier way of doing this with native functions here: ShowHudText & SetHudTextParams
PerformHudMsg(client, "This is a Test")
PerformHudMsg(client, const String:szMsg[]) {
new Handle:hBf = StartMessageOne("HudMsg", client)
BfWriteByte(hBf, 3) //channel
BfWriteFloat(hBf, 0.0); // x ( -1 = center )
BfWriteFloat(hBf, -1); // y ( -1 = center )
// second color
BfWriteByte(hBf, 0); //r1
BfWriteByte(hBf, 0); //g1
BfWriteByte(hBf, 255); //b1
BfWriteByte(hBf, 255); //a1 // transparent?
// init color
BfWriteByte(hBf, 255); //r2
BfWriteByte(hBf, 0); //g2
BfWriteByte(hBf, 0); //b2
BfWriteByte(hBf, 255); //a2
BfWriteByte(hBf, 0); //effect (0 is fade in/fade out; 1 is flickery credits; 2 is write out)
BfWriteFloat(hBf, 1.0); //fadeinTime (message fade in time - per character in effect 2)
BfWriteFloat(hBf, 1.0); //fadeoutTime
BfWriteFloat(hBf, 15.0); //holdtime
BfWriteFloat(hBf, 5.0); //fxtime (effect type(2) used)
BfWriteString(hBf, szMsg); //Message
EndMessage();
}
HookUserMessage Fade
Some sample code to hook a UserMessage, In this case Fade. You cannot send other UserMessages inside of a UserMessage Hook. Many simple functions such as PrintToChat call UserMessages.
public OnPluginStart() {
HookUserMessage(GetUserMessageId("Fade"),HookFade,true)
}
public Action:HookFade(UserMsg:msg_id, Handle:bf, const players[], playersNum, bool:reliable, bool:init) {
new duration = BfReadShort(bf)
new holdtime = BfReadShort(bf)
BfReadShort(bf) //You must read all of the bf values, even If you only want the last value such as this one.
new r = BfReadByte(bf) //You do NOT need to store their value though.
new g = BfReadByte(bf)
new b = BfReadByte(bf)
new a = BfReadByte(bf)
PrintToServer("Duration: %i, HoldTime: %i, rgba: %i %i %i %i",duration,holdtime,r,g,b,a)
}
