Env fade

Template:Base point It controls screen fades to or from a solid color. Add Duration and Hold Time together for the total time this entity will be in effect.

In code, it is represented by theCEnvFadeclass, defined in theEnvFade.cppfile.

ConVars/Commands

Cvar/Command	Parameters or default value	Descriptor	Effect
fadein	float int int int 0	Time (seconds), Red, Green, Blue, [Todo]	Makes the screen black (or the specified color), then fades to the normal view. Todo: Why is the last number required?
fadeout	float int int int 0	Time (seconds), Red, Green, Blue, [Todo]	Fades the screen to black (or the specified color). Todo: Why is the last number required?

Flags

• 1: Fade From - Screen fades from the specified color instead of to it.
• 2: Modulate - Uses attenuation blending to achieve the fade. The normal fade does a straight weighted blend between the screen and the fading color. Modulate actually attenuates the RGB channels. For example, a color of 0 255 0 would mute the red and blue channels and create a green nightvision-type effect.
• 4: Triggering player only !FGD - Only affects the screen of the !activator. !activator is probably the easiest to reach through a trigger entity. If not checked, the fade will apply to all players.
• 8: Stay Out - Fade remains indefinitely until another fade deactivates it.

The time to hold the faded in/out state.

Fade Alpha (renderamt) ([todo internal name (i)]) <integer>
