This command sets the amount of fade. For example:
<code>
_ctrl ctrlSetFade 1; // hides the control<br>
_ctrl ctrlSetFade 0.5; // control is 50% visible<br>
_ctrl ctrlSetFade 0; // control is fully visible
</code>

The resulting fade speed seems like is not exactly what [[ctrlCommit]] commands it to be, as is dependant on your current framerate. Example:
<code>_ctrl ctrlSetFade 0.5;
_ctrl ctrlCommit 1;
</code>
Will actually result in:
<code>'''[60 FPS and higher]''' = ~1.0 seconds
'''[30 FPS and around]''' = ~1.2 seconds
'''[10 FPS and anything lower]''' = ~5-10 seconds
</code>
This phenomenon probably occurs because of engine time simulation disruption caused by performance damage.

Description

Description:
Sets wanted transparency for control animation. Requires ctrlCommit to commit changes. To hide or show a control instantly, use ctrlShow.
ⓘ
Despite having fade = 1; inside a control's config, ctrlFade will still report a fade of 0.

Which results in ctrlSetFade 0 doing nothing in that situation.

To counter that, first use ctrlSetFade 1, then ctrlCommit 0 ( to instantly apply it ), and then you can use ctrlSetFade to set the fade to any value you wish.
