This may be really easy but I haven't been able to figure it out.

Basically, I'm trying to figure out how to do a reverse a fade-out effect with a .light. The needler has a light effect where it fades out after a super detonation, I was wondering if it's possible to do that in reverse, where it fades in, similar to the way the Plasma Grenades glow in CMT_Snow_Grove... better yet, if it's possible to do a fade-in and then a fade-out.

I'm planning on using it for an explosion effect. Thanks in advance for any help. ;p

look at said needler's attachment, to see which function it's controlled by, and look at the function. Then compare it to other tag's light functions. If you can give a function a negative period (idk if u can), you could reverse the fade out of a diagonal function for a fade in

The problems is that the needler light starts out a specific size/brightness, and there's a countdown timer of how long it lasts. It's completely dissapeared by the time the timer hits 0.

Reversing that would bring the timer into negative.
