Yes, I've made a search, but I'm more confused than before....:o
I have a very short interlude mission, it's just a 2 minute conversation.
I have already set a fade in from black at the beginning (with TrapRenderFlash), and I would like to have a fade to black at the end.
Which is the best method to do it?

TrapFadeOut
Quote:
Gradually fade-out to black. The argument is the duration of the fade, in seconds. The screen will remain black until a TurnOff message is sent to the script. There is no fade-in, however. A negative argument does the same thing as TurnOff.
You can fake a fade-in with TrapRenderFlash. Trigger the render flash before sending TurnOff to TrapFadeOut and the after-effect of the flash will act as the fade.
This script is ineffective if the Dromed configuration variable no_endgame is set!.
Last sentence is important! Or else it wont work.
In my dromed I can toggle endgame easy with Custom -> No EndGame.
But attention with endgame enabled your map will close with all changes when garret dies or you finish the map. (and don't switch back to dromed fast enough)

Thanks Daraan. :) There should be no problem to test it in Thief2.exe. There is only one objective and I didn't set up the conversation itself yet.

It doesn't seem to work, not even in game. That's what I did:
I created a marker with the script TrapFadeOut and I linked a button to it. That's all.
Maybe I should teleport Garrett again in the black room? Or a timing is needed? I tried putting the "argument" 10000 in the design note, no success.
Please help!
PS- the "no endgame" is working BTW

Ah my bad I told something wrong you have to do Custom-> Allow endgame.
It's not a toggle option.
I think you also need a design note parameter
on="3.5"
with the time in secs in " ".
(tnhscript loaded ofc as well)

It's working now! :thumb:
Unfortunately I never understand how to use the right syntax in the design note...
Thanks again! :)
