Smooth Screen Fade System is a lightweight and easy-to-use solution for adding clean fade transitions to your project.

Whether you're switching levels, triggering events, or polishing gameplay moments — smooth fades make everything feel more intentional and professional.

This system is designed to be simple to integrate while still giving you full control when you need it.

Fade your screen in and out with custom durations, change colors dynamically, and react to fade states through events — all without complex setup.

It’s built to stay out of your way, so you can focus on building your game.

Features

  • Fade In & Fade Out with adjustable duration

  • Dynamic color control (perfect for different moods or effects)

  • Clean state handling (no overlapping fades)

  • Event Dispatcher for reacting to fade changes

  • Simple setup – just add the component and go

  • Lightweight and fully Blueprint-based

Use Cases

  • Level transitions

  • Teleports

  • Cutscenes

  • Player respawn

  • UI transitions

  • Any moment that should feel smooth instead of abrupt

Why use this?

Small details like screen transitions have a big impact on how a game feels.

A simple fade can turn a hard cut into a smooth experience — and that’s exactly what this system is built for.

A video of this in action might be helpful for some people, myself included. Does this have angled wipes, blurs, zooms or other transitions by chance?

Thanks for the feedback! A short video is definitely on my to-do list — I think it would make the workflow much easier to understand.

The current version already includes a blur-to-black transition in addition to the standard fullscreen fade, so the screen can blur first and then smoothly fade to black before respawning or switching scenes.

Angled wipes and zoom-style transitions aren’t included yet, but I’ve kept the system modular so I can add more transition styles later if there’s interest. I’ll post a video preview once the next update is ready :slight_smile:
