Well since I'm new to DBP I'm going through everything slowly and trying little programs to make sure I understand what I'm learning. But I've kinda hit a problem with sprites.

I load my back ground. Then I do all the good stuff I have to call the sprite. It does put the sprite on the middle of the screen where it is supposed to be but fills the rest of the screen with blue. So it seems to maybe not kow where the edge of the sprite is or something. Though I'm thinking it should be transparent around it correct so I can see the background around it.

Here is the code what am I doing wrong. From what I've learned so far is usually something small that I over look.

Read the tutorial on sprites on why it does it and how to get rid of it.


Are you sensitive enough?

Does your bitmap 1 have a blue background? If it does, then either make it black or set the transparent colorkey to blue.

Nah the background is a zebra skin black and white definately not blue. Though that tutorial that was pointed out to me looks to have the answer to my questions. Since sprites in DBP are handled in 3d hence the blue back drop. It makes sence now just never put two and two together. Going to experiemetn with the tutorial tonight.
