It can cause several problems in your games (I don't think the fade screen plugin is coded properly). I think [b]Sven[/b] and [b]just_in_case[/b] seemed to understand what was going wrong but I could never fix it properly. For me, as my games got more advanced, fade screen caused a loop by constantly resetting my variables that were held in "before first draw and also on reload". It also stopped "on proximity " working properly and also seemed to cause problems with "every few seconds". Random events would occur and other events would not trigger at all. Sounds, animations and textures were screwed up. In fact it caused an entire rats-nest of issues which were completely unsolvable to me. Sadly, the solution for me was to abandon a few years of project development and start them again from scratch (several times). I gave up on a few projects and nearly gave up on coppercube entirely - but now, I do no use "Fade Screen", "Every Few Seconds" or any of the coppercube features in the "Before First Draw" or "On Change Scene" or "Do something Later" etc, they all caused major problems for me - but I've not encountered any of those problems since I stopped using them. For example, to fade the screen, I now use a transparent png (with a gradient from solid-black to see-through) - then child it in-front of the camera - move it up and down to fade the screen in/out. Using this method, you can also fade in colour. Or use some coding to do it properly. Small projects will probably work fine with fade screen - but if they do ever break, personally, that's the first thing I would check/change.[/quote]
