A smooth fade-in/out script for Second Life
This LSL script smoothly fades a linked object in and out when an avatar enters or leaves a specified range.
- ✅ Smooth Fade In/Out – No sudden pop-ins or pop-outs.
- ✅ Works with Linked Prims – Entire linked objects fade together.
- ✅ Performance Optimized – Avatar detection runs at set intervals to minimize lag.
- Invisible by Default – The object starts fully transparent.
- Avatar Detection – The script checks for nearby avatars periodically.
- Smooth Transition – When an avatar enters range, the object gradually fades in.
- Automatic Fade-Out – If no avatars are detected, the object fades out smoothly.
- Inverse – Use the inverse script to make it fade away as people approach.
