INSTRUCTIONS
1.   Drop the !config notecard into your object's contents (or root prim if a linkset).
2.  Drop the Glow Fader script into the contents of your object.
3.  Edit the !config notecard to set your preferences based on the features described below.

COMMANDS
EXAMPLES
Chat Command
Send a command via local chat to show or hide.  This feature is great for testing purposes.  The default channel is 89.
​
/89show
    or
​/89hide
​
Performance Director - Timeline Command
​time | region say : channel : command
This example shows the command to "show" at 12 seconds into the Timeline and the command to "hide" at 35 seconds into the Timeline.  
(Note:  Using "Region Say" sends the command on the entire region meaning you'll never be too far away from it.)
​
12|RS:89:show
35|RS:89:hide
Performance Director - Hotkey Buttons
@button<n>= Region Say : channel : command
If you would rather manually control the Glow Fader, configure a Hotkey button.  Also good for testing purposes.  
​
@button1=RS:89:show
@button2=RS:89:hide
​Please see Performance Director Commands and Hotkey Buttons for more details and complete instructions.

CONFIGURING YOUR FEATURES
EXAMPLES
Enable or Disable a Feature:
A line of text in the notecard that begins with a # sign will not be read by the script.  Therefore to disable a feature, add a # sign in front of the feature line.  

Glow effect enabled:   @gloweffect
Glow effect disabled:  #@gloweffect
@fadein <n>
Enter a number of seconds from 0.25 to 10.0 (default is 2.0).  Set how fast or slow you would like the object to fade into view.  This will also affect the amount of time for the  glow effect, if enabled.

@fadein 1.0
@fadeout <n>
​Enter the number of seconds from 0.25 to 10.0 (default is 2.0)
Set how fast or slow you would like the object to fade out of view. 
​
@fadeout 1.0
@channel <n>
Enter whatever channel you would like the script to listen on.  
​Default is 89.
​
@channel 89
@gloweffect
Enable or Disable:  Add a # sign at the beginning of the line to disable this effect.  The amount and duration of the glow depends on the fadein and fadeout times above.

​Enabled:  @gloweffect
​Disabled:  #@gloweffect
@endglow <n>
WARNING:  The entire linked set WILL remain glowing when rezzed so use only if the item you want to have remain glowing is unlinked. 
NOTE:  This parameter is not listed in the !config notecard but you can add it.  Just type in @endglow with the amount of glow you'd like on the item after it's shown, full glow being 1.0.   
​
@endglow 0.5
@transparency <n>
Enable or Disable.  Default is Disabled.  
Delete the # sign to enable and enter a number for the amount of transparency you would like on your object. 
If enabled, enter a number from 0 to 100, 0 being NO transparency and 100 being fully transparent.
