How would i go about making the screen turn black as if you are unconcious or knocked out? An example would be on the level where you are a president being dragged through a town by two people on CoD4, but i want to make it for CoD2.

new HUD element, full screen, black. Transparecy works too (eg. fading from black slowly).

taken from ac130_credits.gsc:

fadeOverlay( material )
{
	duration = 5;
	
	overlay = newHudElem();
	overlay.x = 0;
	overlay.y = 0;
	overlay setshader ( material, 640, 480);
	overlay.alignX = "left";
	overlay.alignY = "top";
	overlay.horzAlign = "fullscreen";
	overlay.vertAlign = "fullscreen";
	overlay.alpha = 1;
	
	overlay fadeOverTime( duration );
	overlay.alpha = 0;
	MusicStop( duration );
	
	wait duration;
	overlay destroy();
}

function call:
thread fadeOverlay( "black" );

necessary:
precacheshader("black"); // found it below the fadeOverlay call?!

you may change the script.

just tried this. its all fine apart from it says: uninitialised variable "meterial". how do i "initialize" it?

Edit: Nevermind, i just recopied your script over the one i previously copied and it worked :)

Thanks alot mate
