Transparency of a translucent TEXT; the TRANSLUCENT flag must be also set. At 0 the text is totally transparent, at 100 it is totally intransparent. This way texts can smoothly be faded in and out.

Type:

var

Example:

TEXT* welcome_txt =
{
   ...
   alpha = 90; 
   flags = center_x, narrow, transparent, visible;
} 

function fadeout()
{
  while(welcome.alpha > 0)
  {
    welcome.alpha -= time_step;
    wait(1);
  }
}
