FadeEasy

Introduction

FadeEasy makes object fading easier for you to make an object fade in or out simply by entering a one line code.
Example: llFade(LINK_SET, 0.0, 1.0, ALL_SIDES, 0.05); Or llFade(LINK_SET, 1.0, 0.0, ALL_SIDES, 0.05);

Usage

Function: llFade(integer linknumber, float AlphaStart, float AlphaEnd, integer faces, float speed);
integer linknumber – Link number (0: unlinked, 1: root prim, >1: child prims) or a LINK_* flag
float AlphaStart – from 0.0 (clear) to 1.0 (solid), This is the starting opacity of your object
float AlphaEnd – from 0.0 (clear) to 1.0 (solid), This is the ending opacity of your object
integer faces - LINK_THIS, LINK_ROOT, LINK_SET, LINK_ALL_OTHERS, LINK_ALL_CHILDREN
float speed - How much opacity to gain or decrease by

Function Code

<lsl> // Leave this part alone! llFade(integer linknumber, float AlphaStart, float AlphaEnd, integer faces, float speed) {

   if(AlphaStart<AlphaEnd)
   {
       for(;AlphaStart<AlphaEnd;)
       {
           AlphaStart+=speed;
           llSetLinkAlpha(linknumber, AlphaStart, faces);
       }
       return;
   }
   else if(AlphaStart>AlphaEnd)
   {
       for(;AlphaStart>AlphaEnd;)
       {
           AlphaStart-=speed;
           llSetLinkAlpha(linknumber, AlphaStart, faces);
       }
       return;
   }

} </lsl>
