This problem is on TGF, not MMF. But i will be having MMF soon.
anyway i have a transpaent problem with some of active objects.
1. When one of my active objects are transparent and in the events i do a command
always: active object bring to front
the active object isn't transparent no more but just normal again. How comes?
2. Is there a way (on TGF) to make a x-ray effect. i mean if you had a active object coloured all white and a person overlaps it will the person be displayed as white. something like this (picture from the snes game "Sparkster")
1. This happens on TGF for some reason, the only way is to use MMF 1.5 I'm afraid.
2. The only way I could imagine would be to use an ink effect for the foreground, like maybe XOR could give you some kind of effect, or Invert would make the image negative. But other than that, I can't think of anything dude, sorry.
I can't answer the second question, but I have a tiny solution on the first one, I think: If you want to make sure a transparent object always is positioned in front of all other objects, make these actions:
Have all active objects that can collide with the transparent object as a group. Then put this in the event editor:
EVENT: [group] collides with [transparent object]
ACTION: Bring [transparent object] to front
This way, the transparent object will always be in front as soon as something touches it. I don't know why "ALways bring to front" doesn't work. A bug perhaps?
Moving objects to front dispells transparency. I had the same problem for explosions. Anyway...here's what I would do.
If your player is part transparent, change the player to an invisible circle, with colliders. Then always position the transparent player animation from the invisible player. Add events for direction, animation, etc....
Start of level
-set player animation alterable value A to 5
Collision with something and should be infront
-Create player animation from invisible player
Player animation overlapping player animation
Alterable Value A = 5
-Destroy Player Animation
-Set Alterable Value A to 5
Another option is whenever you create an object move its animation to back
Then if you have to see the created object, have it move anything overlapping it(except the player) to back.
