Screen fading out as character is walking?

[xenogia]

I was wondering is there a way to slowly fade out a scene while a character is walking.

The only option I know is to use the FadeOut(#) command but that is blocking.  Is there a way around this?

Yes. It'd be pretty easy to do in 8-bit mode, but for 16/32 bit modes you can either:
1. Use TintScreen() to tint the screen with a gray colour about (1,1,1) to (50,50,50), but it seems that it won't go very dark even at the darkest gray.
2. Use an overlay/object/character/whatever which is a large black rectangle covering the whole screen and adjust its transparency in game.

I'd go gui, since it takes 4.8 seconds to make one. And you could always check out the FadingThingsNonBlocking module (or whatever its called, can't remember off the top of my head)

[Edit]: Indeed, that is the name, and you can find it here. Seems it has some trouble with 3.1.2, but shouldn't be too hard to get working.
