To make part of a sprite transparent, make the parts of it that you want to be transparent pink, like the other images in base.rte.

exelent, i finished it. new look, cost adjusted, and blast radius fixed. wanna see it? tell me how to post plz

Put it in .zip format or .rar format through either the cumbersome right-click --> new --> compressed folder blahblahblah or use winrar, then upload it through the attachment screen at the bottom of the posting page.

And yes.

k, hope this works, tell me what you think and if it would be useful.
oops, i made a mistake, i tweaqked it before without testing it, that one sucked, here...

o, and do you think you could add like a better animation? like a ball of fire, sorta like the cannon shell from metal slug 3 mech mod.

Hmmm... I'll try.

EDIT: here it is. Mess around with the lifetime until it looks like you want.

exellent, thk you for all your help. ill keep it like that for now, works fine for what i need. btw, i think im gonna atempt a cc movie, using some footage of like an asault on a base, blowing it open fromj above with my new toy, and droping down. thx
