Character Sprite Opacity
This script allows you to control a character’s opacity settings on the map.
You can increase or decrease the opacity, turning the character fully opaque (value of 255), or completely transparent (value of 0).
You can control how long the opacity change will take. For example, if you wanted to fade from 255 to 0 over a span of 60 frames, the game will automatically calculate the appropriate opacities over the 60 frames so you don’t have to do it yourself.

Usage
You can change opacity settings for different types of characters, including events, the player, and vehicles.
Event Opacity
To change event opacity, use the script call
change_event_opacity(id, opacity, duration, wait)
Where the ID is the ID of the event, and the opacity is the opacity you want to change it to
If the `duration` is specified, that is the number of frames the opacity change will occur. If it is omitted, the change will occur immediately (duration 0).
`wait` tells the game to wait while the opacity change occurs. This is useful if you want it to wait until the change has finished. By default, the game will wait until it if finished.
Player Opacity
To change player opacity, use one of the script calls
change_player_opacity(opacity, duration, wait)
By default, followers have the same opacity setting as the player.
Vehicle Opacity
To change vehicle opacities, use the script call
change_vehicle_opacity(type, opacity, duration, wait)
The type is the type of vehicle you want to change. By default, these are
provided:
:boat :ship :airship
Do not forget the colon.
Examples
To turn event 4 invisible over a period of 60 frames, use the script call
change_event_opacity(4, 0, 60)
If you don’t want the game to wait while the change occurs, use the script call
change_event_opacity(4, 0, 60, false)
Changing the opacity of the airship to half-transparent would be like
change_vehicle_opacity(:airship, 128)
