ok so i realized a while back that if i load a plain and texture it with a bitmap to use for say a HUD or menu, and if i ghost it every part of the bmp that is black will be completely see through. Well I need to load a bmp of an arrow. I don’t want it to be ghost. so i need to know how i can make everything around the arrow in the bmp completely see through. Making all the area around it black doesn’t work like it does with ghost, and when i make the picture of the arrow and the background transparent, that didn’t work either u just see the grayness from the plain.

any help would be appreciated

thanks

You can use "set object" to stop Darkbasic from drawing the black areas.

SYNTAX
SET OBJECT Object Number, Wire, Transparent, Cull
SET OBJECT Object Number, Wire, Transparent, Cull, Filter
SET OBJECT Object Number, Wire, Transparent, Cull, Filter, Light
SET OBJECT Object Number, Wire, Transparent, Cull, Filter, Light, Fog
SET OBJECT Object Number, Wire, Transparent, Cull, Filter, Light, Fog, Ambient
