Description
Wiki Description
Sets this actor's alpha value, optionally fading them to that value rather then popping.
Documentation Comment
Sets this actor's alpha - with an optional fade to that alpha
The alpha will be clamped between 0 and 1
Caveats
CK Wiki - Notes
- The player cannot be faded completely out and will always remain partially visible.
- The fade boolean does not work if you set the alpha to (0.0). If you wish to fade to zero, then it must be set to (0.1) and then use Utility.Wait(0.3) (or any equally small number), calling the function afterwards to set to (0.0).
-
This function cannot be called on a dead or disabled actor. You will get an error that the actor has no AI process.
-
Actors with an alpha value less than 1 will not be able to ForceGreet the player, unless they are flagged as a ghost (either on the base actor or via the SetGhost command). Their package will run and they will approach the player when in range, but will not initiate dialogue.
- Note that setting an NPC as a ghost will make them immune to all damage, and all weapons pass through them without playing hit effects or triggering hit events.
- You can temporarily set an NPC as a ghost for the sake of a ForceGreet package through a package fragment script. Call akActor.SetGhost(true) when the package begins and akActor.SetGhost(false) when the package ends.
