Unity5 Vertex colour shader with fade?

capone

I'm trying to place a plane in Unity with vertex colour applied and have it fade to from 0 - 100% opaque. None of the existing shaders seem to be able to do this. Whenever I look up tutorials it involves coding/scripting which I have little experience with. Is that really the only way to get fading vertex colour in Unity?

You mean animate the fade, so the whole surface fades in from invisible to visible? Or are you talking about fading out each vertex at a fixed amount?

Above shader with animating shader values with animation tools in Unity requires no scripting and does it properly
