This shader can be used for 'slide out' or the directional gradual hide effect for the entire camera frame or the individual scene object it is attached to. If used for entire camera frame effect it can be attached to an off-screen sprite.
Value parameters
autoStart
Whether to start shader right away. Default value is false.
balance
A function that produces value in [0, 1] range that is used in color mixture. Value 0 means that the color will be 100% background, value 1 means that the color will be 100% the actual pixel color, value 0.5 means that the color will be a 50% mix between the background and the actual pixel color. The function takes two parameters: first is a current frame number since the start of the effect, and the second parameter is the last frame number of the effect. First parameter is always less then the second one. By default, the the (a, b) => a.toFloat / b function is used that gives a more gradual color transition through the frames range. Another popular function to use here is a sigmoid function: (a, b) => sigmoid.value(a - b / 2).toFloat that gives a different, more rapid visual effect.
Duration of the effect in milliseconds. It can be changed later.
entireFrame
Whether apply to the entire camera frame or just the object this shader is attached to.
onFinish
Optional callback to call when this shader finishes. Default is a no-op.
skip
Predicate allowing to skip certain pixel from the shader. Predicate takes a pixel (with its Z-order), and X and Y-coordinate of that pixel. Note that XY-coordinates are always in relation to the entire canvas. Typically used to skip background or certain Z-index. Default predicate returns false for all pixels.
Called on each frame pass on scene object that has this shaders attached to it. This callback is called regardless of whether or not the scene object is visible or in camera frame.

Resets this shaders to its initial state starting its effect on the next frame.
Resets this shaders to its initial state starting its effect on the next frame.
Value parameters
onFinish
Optional override for the callback to call when shader effect is finished. If not provided, the default value is the callback supplied at the creation of this shader.
