Using ScreenFade script to single out the background?

I couldn't get the answer I wanted on UnityAnswers, so I thought I'd try the forum . I hope this is okay.

Basically, my problem is detailed here: http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/9603/how-can-i-individually-fade-the-background-and-not-the-gui

In short: I want to use the ScreenFade script to fade only a single GUI.DrawTexture, and keep the rest intact.

The problem is that you can only assign one GUI.depth per GUI function, so either everything fades, or nothing does.

I think I can solve it by fusing the ScreenFade script into my main script, but I would very much like to keep those two apart.

One final thing to mention is that that GUI.DrawTexture gets dynamically updated throughout the game (the background texture changes).

I hope you guys can help me out once more,

Veli

 

Bump!

If this is not possible, I'd also like to know so I can move on to a different solution, or skip it altogether.

 

Have you tried the fade script from Unify? http://www.unifycommunity.com/wiki/index.php?title=FadeInOut

 

Well, yeah, that's the script I'm using .

 

One final bump! Someone? Anyone?

 

The only thing I can think of is to use the GetPixels and SetPixels functions of the Texture2D class to change the alpha values of the pixels in the texture. Not ideal, I know...

 

Ah, okay . Well, I've decided to do it via another way (crossfade the background with a custom script, rather than use ScreenFade), with which I received help via UnityAnswers.

Thanks for considering the issue, though .
