IF I fade a parent entity do the children fade with it?

At work atm so can't test this.

Nope, just tested it. Only the entity specified in EntityAutoFade fades. The child isn't affected :)

Thanks, what about entityalpha? I assume that does.

Nope, doesn't either :S I thought it did. I think that was HideEntity tho :)

So entity alpha does NOT affect the children, if used on the parent.
