Hi all.

Ive got three questions that I need (accually more that I want) to get answered.

How do you make so images fade out? And how do you make them fade back again?

And how do you create 2d boxes (for exapmple) that you can see threw? Like in for example Half Life Deathmatch, the bar where you see all the scores. You can see threw it, how do you do that in DarkBASIC Pro?

EDIT:

Lol, me and my bad spelling. Its "threw", not "trew" (look at the topic name).

Or possibly through?

For sprites look at SET SPRITE ALPHA
For objects look at SET ALPHA MAPPING ON

To make images like gui's etc with sexy semi-transparent areas then make in your art program and export as PNG.


The word "Gullible" cannot be found in any English Dictionary.

you have tried to set the sprites alpha before telling DBP that the sprite exists.
Try swapping these two lines:
