I need a cog, which i don't know if it's possible, that's why i ask for it, for a cutscene in my SP episode Slaves of the Empire, the cog should do this:
First all you see is a black screen, then after a second the black starts fading and you begin seeing something...
Understand?
Black screen > Black fades
The black should fade like force blinding...
Danke! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

SetSurfaceLight()

Changes the light value of a surface over time

Use: SetSurfaceLight(surface, light, fade)
fade = fade time from 0 to light value

oh, and it should be 0's (or maybe 1's b/c 0 might be transparent?)... 255/255/255 is white... 0/0/0 is black.

Works great, but... Now it would be nice to have the black actually fading so that the screen would not be black for the rest of the cutty [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

And i would like seeing it faidng like FORCE BLINDING [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

Try this out... it works... might want to modify some of it tho to suit your needs.

Code: 
symbols

int		effectHandle=-1		local
int		i			local
int		pause=1
int		fadeSpeed=5

message		startup
message		timer

end

## Code Section

code

//-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

startup:
	effectHandle = newColorEffect(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0);
	SetTimer(pause);
	return;

timer:
	for (i=0.005; i<=1; i=i+0.005)
	{
		freeColorEffect(effectHandle);
		effectHandle = newColorEffect(0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, i);
		Sleep(0.01 * fadeSpeed);
	}

	freeColorEffect(effectHandle);

	return;

end


Pause is the time delay before it starts to fade back, and fadeSpeed is just to control how fast it fades back.
