Marker Fade

Summary

Player-placed map markers gradually fade by lowering opacity if left untouched. Moving a marker restores full visibility.

Description

Marker Fade makes unused map markers look older over time by lowering their opacity (alpha). The original color stays the same — only transparency changes.

How it works:
- After 1 minute idle, a marker starts fading
- Over the next 4 minutes it reaches minimum opacity (default 0.45)
- Moving or updating a marker resets the fade
- Affects player-owned custom and military markers
- Server/briefing markers, map drawings and lobby zone overlays are ignored

FAD_FadeGameModeComponent:
- Enable / disable
- Idle time before fade starts
- Fade duration to max transparency
- Minimum alpha at max fade

Works with these defaults if the component is not added to the GameMode.

Useful for distinguishing fresh intel from outdated markers.
