FadeHide and FadeShow – Palette-v27
Abilities – None


Format:   Palette name or abbrev%command%ALL or ONE or linkName (preferred) or link number%fadetimeoverride

IMPORTANT: fadetimeoverride is a just a number that represents !!!ABOUT!!! 5 seconds for a value of 1.
So..
1 = 5 seconds;
2=10 seconds;
0.5 = 2.5 seconds

ALL = all links
ONE = the root prim or the (non-root) link the palette scripts are in (strongly NOT suggested)
link number = 1 thru 256.  Zero (0) allowed if only 1 link, which is same as ONE

LinkName is strongly preferred over LinkNumber because LinkNumber is not reliable.  If LinkName is not found then it defaults to ALL

The default fade times are specified in the *palettes nc are called:

FadeToHideTime,5
FadeToShowTime,5
 

Examples:

02_A%FadeHide%ALL%3
02_A%FadeShow%ONE%2
 

If the last parameter (fadetimeoverride) is missing then the default FadeTo or last override time is used
