A_FadeOut [(float reduce_amount [, int flags])]
Usage
Increases the actor's translucency (decreases its alpha) by the specified amount. When the actor is fully transparent it will be removed, unless remove is explicitly set to false (it is true by default). This can be used to slowly fade out some things in a loop. If reduce_amount is not provided, it defaults to 0.1.
Parameters
- reduce_amount: The amount by which to reduce the actor's alpha.
- flags: The following flags can be combined using the pipe character | between the constant names:
- FTF_REMOVE — the actor is removed from the game once its alpha reaches 0. This flag is implied by default, and is equivalent to using "TRUE" in earlier versions of ZDoom. To prevent this from occurring, use 0.
- FTF_CLAMP — the alpha cannot go below 0.
Examples
This is a cacodemon fireball which slowly fades out of existence when it is fired.
ACTOR Fadeball : CacodemonBall { RenderStyle "Translucent" Alpha 1.0 States { Spawn: BAL2 AB 4 Bright A_FadeOut(0.2) Loop } }
This code replaces plasma balls with a custom PlasmaBall with trails.
