I think you might be able to change the alpha parameter, haven't tried it but it should work.

Cheers,

Walter is right. In the perf_smiley demo, you can see the line: Batch.Color = Smiley.Color. If you change the alpha value of Smiley.Color, you change the transparency.

Welcome to B4A! The libgdx library is excellent and well worth learning if you want to get into games development.

hmmm i cant seem to set the alpha proprty correctly ,
so lets say i want to set to 50 % transprence
i tryed Batch.Color.alpha(0.5) before my
Batch.DrawRegion3
but nothing happend ...
I know its a little silly question but , as i said im a beginer in b4a

1) I suggested to change the alpha value of Smiley.Color, not the one of Batch.Color. It's easy to do in the demo because you just have to change the last parameter of Smiley.Color.SetRGBA (line #118).
2) The Alpha function is not documented and you've been fooled by the function name. In fact, it converts a float value between 0 and 1 to an int value between 0 and 255. Use setRGBA, as in the demo, to change the alpha value.

 

[Informatix]

In the next version, the current Alpha function will be named "to255" and I'll add another function to change only the alpha value.

just added

Batch.Color = Batch.Color.setRGBA(1,1,1,0.7)

Batch.DrawRegion3( blah blah blah)

Batch.Color = Batch.Color.setRGBA(1,1,1,1)


Thanx Informatix you are great its working perfectly now!
