How to script the guardian effect?

[Shives]

Hi
I want to script the guardian effect,this means
How to script it that an Object fades in. If I use Set Entity Active it looks awful.

SetPropActiveAndFade is probably what you're looking for.

[SilentStriker]

and do some particles and it should look nice

The result
main(27,3):ERR :No matching signatures to 'SetPropActiveAndFade(string@&, const bool)'

You forgot the last part of the SetPropActiveAndFade

SetPropActiveAndFade(string& asName, bool abActive, float afFadeTime);

asName - internal name


abActive - nothing to add


afFadeTime - time in seconds until prop fully fades

[Shives]

New Problem
main(27,22):ERR : 'S_1' is not declared
The same with the other Objects i want to fade -.-

S_1 is not declared because all the S_ and p_ should be inside "" for example "S_1"

because they are Strings

[Shives]

The result

main(27,3):ERR :No matching signatures to 'SetPropActiveAndFade(string@&, const bool, const uint, const uint'

[SilentStriker]

SetPropActiveAndFade("S_5", true, 0.9f);

is how it should look like
