| Post subject: | Put a sprite in front of everything |
Hello! I am working hard on my first mod, a lua scripted scene, and I wonder if there's any way to put a sprite in front of everything else on the map? For example, in front of a building so that you can't see the inside until youve entered it? If tried to set a MOSParticle, MOSRotating, MOSPparticle with a screen effect, nothing works. Any idea welcome. Thanks! |

By screen effect did you mean massive glow? If not, try a large glow on an invisible, unhittable particle... |

What if you try, and make a module have a normal foreground, no background, and the mat file will show it as air? That should work. |

The problem is that my sprite appeared all blue and translucid, whatever the parameters. Kallemort wrote: I remember someone making something like this back in the older builds.

Just did that, this seemed to work, but as soon as the game starts, it disappears. I assume it's because the air material is somewhat ignored... |

I don't know, I think my previous method used to work. |

Ok sorry. I said the MOSRotating didn't work because it wasn't fast at all, i dropped to something like 3 f/s, that was because i didn't specify the material was Air. It's ok now! Thanks for your help! |
