Please Read ! - ryan1431 - 01-05-2013
I have a new, more challenging-to-fix problem after getting used to HPL and scripting. In amnesia, when the "goo" is created, it fades in. Whenever i try to get the goo active by using the script "SetEntityActive("(name)", true);", it just appears, instead of fading in
. I was wondering if there is a way to fix this. Your answer would be greatly appreciated.Thanks

void SetPropActiveAndFade(string& asName, bool abActive, float afFadeTime);
Activates/deactivates a prop.
asName - internal name
abActive - nothing to add
afFadeTime - time in seconds until prop fully fades

you need to use
"SetPropActiveAndFade"
this will make it fade in and out instead of just appearing
if you need to find some code you dont know you can check the ones use in the game

SetPropActiveAndFade("GOO_NAME_IN_EDITOR", true, TIME_IN_SECONDS_UNTIL_IT_FADES);
Now if you want it to desappear, change the true for false.

asName = The entitiy (In most situations)
