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.

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

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

because they are Strings

The result

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

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

is how it should look like
