overlapping opacity values.

If i have say 2 sprite instances set to 50% opacity and they are overlapping, the overlapping part combines the opacity of each so that area looks 100% opacity. Is there a way to prevent this, some blend mode or something?

Thanks.

I am pretty sure opacity applies to the entire sprite so any edges that overlap would have that same opacity setting.

You could try a mask effect for a smoother blend or you could fade your sprite edges in the editor so they blend closer to what you want.

I fade the edges in my masks using the eraser in the editor set to something like 10 so it leaves just a hint of the sprite color and then decrease that to 1 as you move to the inner edge where the color should be full.

Sorry, you missunderstand.

If i make a square sprite and colour it blue and set the objects opacity to 50%, then spawn another one and the two move and overlap, where they overlap each other will appear to be 100% opacity or solid blue, where they arnt overlapping will still appear 50% opacity.

I'm looking for a way so the opacity is maintained at 50% regardless.

Thanks.

I didn't misunderstand.

I offered you a way to feather the edges so they blend and that would reduce the effect you are seeing.

Never mind.

Any one else have any ideas?

Thanks.

I can post pics to:

Both of those sprites are set to 50% opacity.

Sorry for trying to help you and good luck and have a nice day!

Anyone else who actually understands have any ideas?

Thanks.

get them sprites into their own layer and manipulate opacity from the layer properties, instead of sprite's. oh lord, please dont let me be misunderstood.

lol. I'll give it a try thanks.
