This might already exist, but I would like a method/function to Set the Transperancy of an entity/sprite with values from 0 to 100 (like in photoshop). Something like

SpriteExample.SetTransperancy(70);

Actors and entites have an AlphaColor attribute. The AlphaColor attribute can define both color and transparency (0 to 255). I.e. to make an actor half transparent, you can do something like:

Code: [Select]

actor.AlphaColor = MakeRGBA(255, 255, 255, 128); // white color, alpha 128

Note that this setting overrides scene coloring. To reset the default behavior, set the AlphaColor attribute to zero.

Transparency for sprites can be defined in SpriteEdit.

Thanks. I have used this attribute before, but I wasn't aware that it worked for transparency too (don't know why  ).

Yes, I know this but it's not helpfull for what I want to do. I want to change a sprite's transparency with scripting because I have an image that want to appear and dissapear when I want to, with different speeds (so different Sleep() values).

EDIT: I just want to clarify what I want to do.
I would like to create a for() {...} loop in which I would change the transperancy of the sprite from 0 to 100 and from 100 to 0.

Sorry for posting again Jan, but it seems that you have lost my last post in this thread.

Umm, I didn't, but I thought it was resolved. You can use an entity and change its transparency using the AlphaColor attribute, right?

Oh... sorry... Yeah I know that I can use an entity instead, but for some reason I am trying not to create entities when they are not 100% needed (and Jerrot is using entities everywhere he can!, he can't stop it! ). Anyway, it's not really important so I'll do it this way...

Yeah. Entities rock - and I see no reason why not to use them... ?!

Yeah!
