How to make all screen black? - summit - 08-27-2013
Hello guys, I am working on a new project. I want to be all screen black. You can't see anything. And I'm going to show messages on screen. I will tell the story like that. I know how to show messages but I don't know how to make all screen black. So my messages look better with all screen black.

FadeOut(0); //This will fade the screen out instantly.
FadeIn(5); //This will fade the screen back in over 5 seconds.

And there is one more question, I want to make my message stay on the screen like 30 seconds, how can I make it stay 30 sec with codes?

When using messages, the length the message is displayed for is the third parameter, for example this message would display for 15 seconds:
SetMessage("Message1Category", "Message1Text", 15);
