Question by Major-Idea · Aug 03, 2012 at 12:14 PM · delayrespawnfadedeath

Fade on death!

Hi all,

I have a 1st person controller that dies and respawns correctly, but its something very raw - Player hits death object and immediately respawns.

I need it to be smooth and have the screen turn black when he dies, wait for a couple of seconds and the fade into view.

I managed to set the delay. Any help with the fading would me most appreciated.

(I cant access the wiki to get a fade script in there. Says the community has been hacked.)

This is what I have:

function OnTriggerEnter (theCollider : Collider) { if (theCollider.tag == "KillerPatrol") { yield WaitForSeconds(2.0); transform.position = Vector3(42.66871, -103.2632, -873.2073); }

Thanks!

Got this from wiki( I guess...) the author uses guiText to show fade in and out. Replace GuiText with your gameobject. Hope this help.

///////////////////////////////////////////// ///Zapp's Uber fading timer script/////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////// ///v3.141//////////////////////////////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////// ///Brought to you by the letter Z..////////// ///////////////////////////////////////////// ///And a grant from the MyWallet Foundation// ///////////////////////////////////////////// using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

public class Timer : MonoBehaviour {

public int minutes; public int seconds; public int fraction;

public float startTime; float FadeStartTime; float FadeTime;

public float playTime; public float FadeSpeed;

public Color TimerColor = new Color(1,1,1,0);

bool go = false; public bool fadeIn = false; public bool fadeOut = false;

 void Start ()
 {
     if( !guiText )
     {
         Debug.Log("This timer requires a GUIText component");
         enabled = false;
         return;
     }
    
     if(FadeSpeed == 0)
     {
         FadeSpeed = 1;
     }
     guiText.material.color = TimerColor;
 }

     //This is for testing, make sure to remove it after your done.
     if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))

         guiText.text = string.Format("{0}\'{1}\"{2}", minutes, seconds, fraction);
     }
