I want to be able to make objects appear and disappear, like load them and unload them, or make them invisible then make them visible again when im ready to use them. but I want them to fade in and out.

is there a way to make them fade?

Gowmars,

Here is the method you are looking for. It is rather simple and has no necessity for explanation.

+ Code Snippet

REM <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

REM <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
sync on
sync rate 0
color ambient light(0,0,255)

make object cube 1,5

fade = 1000

repeat
   if fade > 0
      fade object 1,fade
      dec fade,3
   else
      REM << when object is faded to it's utmost it is still visible
      REM << so, hide or delete the object after it fades fully
      hide object 1
   endif
sync
until fade =< 0
end
