Fade in effect on a viewport?

sonicbhoc

Is it possible to make a viewport fade in or out when it is created? If so, can it even be done to the main viewport? Just curious. Thanks!

Not directly, but for that all you have to do is create an object just in front of the camera that will do your fade. Something like:

In config:

[FadeInObject]
ParentCamera = <MyCamera>
Color        = (0, 0, 0)
Scale        = 1
Position     = (0, 0, 0.001)
LifeTime     = 2

Graphic      = @
Texture      = pixel
Pivot        = center

FXList       = @
SlotList     = @
Type         = alpha
Curve        = smooth
Absolute     = true
StartTime    = 0
EndTime      = @FadeInObject.LifeTime
StartValue   = 1
EndValue     = 0


In code:

orxObject_Create("FadeInObject");

That's what I thought. Thanks!
