Usage

Dissolve Character is used to gradually fade a character out of the scene. It is commonly applied when a character dies, warps, or is removed from the scene. The effect allows flexible control over the pattern, color, and timing of the dissolve.

Parameters

• Texture2DDissolve : Uses a noise texture to define the dissolve pattern. Tiling can be adjusted to achieve the desired look
• Dissolve Color : Adjusts the color of the glow displayed along the dissolve edges
• Dissolve Value : Controls the dissolve state (0 = disabled / 1 = fully dissolved and invisible)
• Start Dissolve : Adjusts the starting point of the dissolve effect. Lower this value if the effect starts too quickly or appears abrupt; increase it if the effect starts too late
• End Dissolve : Adjusts the ending point of the dissolve effect. Used to fix cases where the character is still partially visible when Dissolve Value reaches 1, or disappears too quickly
• SizeGlowDissolve : Controls the size of the glow edge displayed during the dissolve

Scripting

Add using ZLZ.AnimeShader; and get a reference to ZLZ_CharacterVFX, then access the Dissolve block:

// Dissolve out (death / despawn) - plays 0 → 1, then holds  
vfx.Dissolve.Dissolve();  
vfx.Dissolve.Restore();    // optional: animate back to visible (1 → 0)  
  
// Spawn in - animates from dissolved (1) to visible (0)  
vfx.Dissolve.SetInstant(1f);    // pre-set fully dissolved  
vfx.Dissolve.Spawn();            // then fade in  
  
// Check state  
bool active = vfx.Dissolve.IsActive();  

Example - dissolve on death:

void OnDeath(GameObject character)  
{  
    character.GetComponent<ZLZ_CharacterVFX>()?.Dissolve.Dissolve();  
}

Example - spawn a character into the scene:

void SpawnCharacter(GameObject character)  
{  
    var vfx = character.GetComponent<ZLZ_CharacterVFX>();  
    if (vfx == null) return;  
    vfx.Dissolve.SetInstant(1f);   // hide instantly  
    vfx.Dissolve.Spawn();           // fade in  
}  

Example - teleport (dissolve out → move → spawn in):

IEnumerator Teleport(GameObject character, Vector3 destination)  
{  
    var vfx = character.GetComponent<ZLZ_CharacterVFX>();  
    if (vfx == null) yield break;  
    vfx.Dissolve.Dissolve();  
    yield return new WaitForSeconds(1f);  
    character.transform.position = destination;  
    vfx.Dissolve.Spawn();  
}
