[SOLVED]Fade in/fade out objects?

Unity Engine
1

Good afternoon everyone,

I’m trying to figure out how to get objects to fade in and fade out, but unfortuately I can’t seem to get it to work. Are there any tutorials or postings around that give examples of going from 0-100% transparency and back again? So far my searches have come up without any answers.

Any links and advice greatly appreciated!

Set your object’s shader to Transparent Diffuse, and then do this whenever you want to change the transparency:

var tempColor : Color = renderer.material.color;
tempColor.a = newTrans;
renderer.material.color = tempColor;

newTrans would be the variable that determines how transparent. It goes on a scale of 0 to 1, with 0 being fully transparent and 1 being almost 100% opaque.

Ah! I didn’t have the right shader on the object! Thanks for the solution!
