Script to fade opaque to transparent and back!

I am looking for a script to put into a prim, that automatically moves/ cycles the level of transparency from opaque to transparent..and back to opaque again..I hope someone can help me =) (I want to make an object that looks like it is disapearing and re-appearing again..etc) Many thanks xxx

Use either llSetAlpha or llSetPrimitiveparams(PRIM_COLOR) with llSleep to step through the alpha fade and back again then reset the script using llResetScript(); to head back up to the beginning of the fade.

There is probably a more elegant method that some of the old timers can give you but as a starter this should get you going.

You should use a "for" cycle or a "while" a timer too. I don't like to script in forums, if you need help IM me. .-

This script should provide you with the requested alphaness.


float f_alpha = 0.0;
float f_step = 0.01;

default
{
on_rez(integer start_param)
{
llResetScript();
}
state_entry()
{
llSetTimerEvent(0.05);
}
timer()
{
f_alpha += f_step;
if (f_alpha+f_step > 1.0) {f_step = -f_step;}
if (f_alpha+f_step < 0.0) {f_step = -f_step;}
llSetAlpha(f_alpha,ALL_SIDES);
}
}
