fade.lua is a small library for creating colored fading effects and colored overlays.

Installation

Copy the fade.lua file into either your level's custom graphics folder for use in a level, along with a lunadll.lua file, or into the same directory as your .wld file along with a lunaworld.lua file for use throughout an entire episode.

How to use

To enable the fade library:

local fade = API.load("fade");

This will load the Fade API.

Examples

Simple Fade Effect

local fade = API.load("fade");

local myCustomFade = fade()
myCustomFade:setStart(255, 255, 255, 255)
myCustomFade:setEnd(255, 255, 255, 0)
myCustomFade:setTransitionTime(65*4)

function onStart()
    myCustomFade:start()
end

This will create a fade effect which starts from full white to full opacity. If you want to, you can also use hex-values instead:

myCustomFade:setStart(0xFFFFFFFF)
myCustomFade:setEnd(0xFFFFFF00)

Simple Color Overlay

local fade = API.load("fade");

local myCustomOverlay = fade()
myCustomOverlay:setStart(0, 0, 255, 100)
myCustomOverlay:setEnd(0, 0, 255, 100)

function onStart()
    myCustomOverlay:start()
end

This will create a blue overlay over the level.
