Hey, i was using the set sprite command to achieve some interesting blood effects, when i came accross a troublesome error...

It seems that the set sprite command doesnt just set the backsave/transparency for the given sprite, but for all sprites?!?

Because, observe, and test i guess...




Is there a way to only make certain sprites change theri backsave value?


This is my WIP, not even ready for a WIP thread yet though.http://smallgroupproductions.com/

oh wow. i see it, but thats not the real code im using, it was jsut an example i wrote in the code snippet. ill go fix it. but i think it still wont work even if its fixed. il check.


EDIT: yea, still no go. it seems like the last set sprite command called is the one it uses for all of them...

using paste sprite instead of sprite (on the sprites you DON'T want backsave active on) will give what i think is your desired effect.

full code re-arranged:


you would still expect your original code to work, but atleast there's a work-around.
