| How do you get the alpha information from an entity other then storing it with each change to the alpha. looking for something like, GetEntityAlpha#(entity) or CurrentAlpha#(entity). or is it just not possable. seems like it should be included with all the other entity information. The reason I ask is because I'm trying my hand at creating a particle system. and I need each particle to fade before being reset (I figured resetting a particle is less cpu intensive then deleting and creating a new particle every time one dies). And sense each particle has a random alpha I need to have that value so the fade out is smooth. |
