Say I want to make player's screen "bloody" by adding a red tint to it, how would this be done?

In eventscripts I would add a tint like so:

The Fade class has been a part of the messages package since its creation. I did test using the numbers you have, but I am receiving errors. So, I lowered the 500 and 482 down to 5 and 2, and it worked like a charm:

If you do not want any fade-in, fade-out, or modulate, do not pass any flags, as in the example above. If you wish to fade-out, use the following (fade-in and modulate are very similar):

Syntax: Select all

from colors import RED
from events import Event
from messages import Fade
from players.helpers import index_from_userid

fade_message = Fade(duration=5, hold_time=2, color=RED.with_alpha(150))


@Event
def player_say(game_event):
    fade_message.send(index_from_userid(game_event.get_int('userid')))

Ah, didn't find the Fade class with GitHub's search function, must've failed something cause I find it now... But thank you very much, looks awesome! :)

The message classes are created (or mapped?) dynamically through the ini files in https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/tree/master/addons/source-python/data/source-python/messages by https://github.com/Source-Python-Dev-Team/Source.Python/blob/master/addons/source-python/packages/source-python/messages/__init__.py
