Env fade

env_fade
Type	point
Status	supported

Point entity which, when triggered, causes the players' screens to have an in- or out-fading color to be drawn over them. It's possible to create static screen color modulation by retriggering this entity in a loop.

1 Keyvalues

Duration : duration

Time, in seconds, the effect will fade in/out.

Hold fade : holdtime

Time, in seconds, the fully faded-in/not yet faded-out state will stay.

Fade alpha : renderamt

Set how transparent/opaque the effect is at its peak (Hold fade). 0 means transparent. 255 means opaque.

Fade color : rendercolor

The color to use.

2 Flags

1 : Fade from

If set, instead of fading to the color specified, the screen will fade out from it, meaning the color will apply suddenly. Good for a flashbang effect.

2 : Modulate

If set, instead of drawing the color layer over the screen, the color you set will be used as a color filter. E.g., when you set the color to pure green, any red and blue will be removed from the player's screen.

4 : Activator only

If set, only the player who activated this entity will be affected by it

3 Issues

• Sum of "duration" and "hold time" time can be maximum ~18 seconds long, then env_fade ends. Trigger it multiple times to keep it for longer time, use more than one env_fade if you need first one for color transition, and second one for still target color.
