well thanks for our help anyways, but ive already done the cone thing with the fading texture, your texture looks alittle better but im just not happy with how it looks. Is there anyway to use smoke? or fog? idont need the screen to flash. perhaps i could create a rectangle between the projector and screen and add fog inside the rectangle? for would look alittle better than a cone becouse u can see the edges of it when u walk threw it. im gonna experiment with fog. and let u know my results
