Once it fades that it stay faded or does it come back to full strength? Or does it completely fade to nothing?

the screen shot confused me lol.

[Protoman]

the script only fades in. so, the text will start invisible and fades into view, then disappears as the next starts to fade into view

Useless hacks have risen to an all-time new high.
