How does Fade Speed translate to the fade duration on the day sequence device?

The documentation says that Fade Speed “determines how quickly the device fades in and out,” but it doesn’t mention the actual time relationship.

In my tests, decreasing the value slowed the fade, while increasing it made the fade faster. I found this counterintuitive, as I initially assumed the value represented the fade duration in seconds.

Questions:

  • Is Fade Speed based on a set number of frames or ticks per value?
  • Is there any way to calculate an exact fade duration in seconds based on the Fade Speed number?

For precise timing (e.g., syncing with animations, sound cues, or events), it would be great to know the conversion or logic behind the scenes.

Thanks!

Yeah that sounds dodgy, I’ve assumed it to be bigger number, longer fade and for it to be using seconds,
Haven’t used it yet, but will be, thanks for the heads up.

You should repost this in either a bug report (… it doesn’t seem logical maybe its a bug) or feedback/requests

Need the voting enabled, 3 votes and it goes into the queue to be looked at, I’ll add a vote.

I opted for a bug report! It felt like an easy bug report to write up what we expect vs observe.
