Flags

Fade From : [1]

Screen fades from the specified color instead of to it.

Modulate : [2]

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.

Activator Only : [4]

If enabled, the fade will only affect the player who activated it.
