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 Flags

Example Fade function

This Fades the screen a 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, seconds duration
  BfWriteShort(hFadeClient,0)		// FIXED 16 bit, with SCREENFADE_FRACBITS fractional, seconds 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()
