i want to create a polygonal fireball (quake 2 for example). im having trouble trying to figure out how to fade the fireball out insdead of just deleteing the object from being rendered. i cant find any tutoprial that has transparent objects, and i did a search for 'transparent' and nothing came up except for sprites, i i want to keep the sprites as a last resort

the key are you must select one of the right blending modes (there are a lot of them) now you enable blending = makes textures or gfx primitives transparent than you can use 4. params for colors = the alpha value
i am sure any other person will give you an example

A good example of transparency can be found in this post by tom. Just save the program in your Basic4GL Program folder & run it from there.

I've never banned someone for one wrong post, I've warned and then banned people about constantly cross posting on boards (which may have been you) but that's it.
I'm a fair man, all I ask is that you bow down to me as your god...
