Fade To Black (Flowgraph Node)

- **Node Name:** `Fade To Black`

Overview

  • Node Name: Fade To Black
  • Category: once_f_duration
  • File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/ui/fadeToBlack.lua

Fades the screen to black. Completes when the screen is fully black.

Pin Schema

Input Pins

PinTypeDefaultDescription
durationnumber0.75Duration of the fade transition (hardcoded)

Output Pins (inherited from once_f_duration)

PinTypeDescription
completeflowFires when the screen is fully black

Internals

Key Methods

MethodDescription
workOnce()Starts the fade via ui_fadeScreen.fadeToBlack(duration)
onScreenFadeState(state)Listens for state 1 (fully black) to finish
_executionStopped()Resets duration state
onNodeReset()Resets duration state

How It Works

  1. workOnce() sets duration state to started and calls ui_fadeScreen.fadeToBlack(duration).
  2. When the screen reaches full black, onScreenFadeState(1) fires and sets the duration to finished.
  3. The complete output flow pin activates, allowing downstream nodes to proceed.

Usage Example

-- Typical pattern: fade to black, do something, fade from black
-- [Trigger] → [Fade To Black] → [Teleport Vehicle] → [Fade From Black]
--
-- Internally calls:
ui_fadeScreen.fadeToBlack(0.75)

Key Dependencies

  • ui_fadeScreen.fadeToBlack() - performs the actual screen fade
  • onScreenFadeState hook - state 1 = fully black
