| Is black the only transparrent color I can use to texutre a sprite in 3d? I'm so used to using "ugly magenta" (255, 0, 255) for transparrency in 2d games! ;-) Is there any way to mask a texture/brush color? |

| It appears so (check the TextureFilter command in the docs). It says that TextureFilter 4 enables masking of your texture, but only for black. Unless you use a png-texture (png files can include the alpha channel, IIRC). Then you could use TextureFilter 2, this enables the alpha channel for your texture. Or just include flag 2 into your LoadTexture command: LoadTexture("MyTexture.png", 1+2) ' flag 1 is default |

| Wow! So I can just use a transparent color in png file and then load it up in Blitz and it will work?!?!? 8-0 Thanks, dude! |

| You could use the function i have written: http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=1013 It will basically use the colour you specify as a mask colour for a sprite. |

| I've tried pngs and it worked fine - thanx guys! |
