The drawingPlugin edittime instance.js has this.GetInstance().ApplyBlendMode(iRenderer) in Draw(iRenderer, iDrawParams).

What is the runtime equivalent of this? (even if I have to cache the blend mode setting on creation or something like that)

In the runtime, the blend mode, color (including opacity) and Z elevation are applied automatically before the Draw() call.

Thanks

Ashley - Is there a simple way to support effects for drawing plugins, or is it a very involved process? Almost any effect I try to apply just makes every quad a black square or invisible.

Is it set to pre-draw? i.e. this._info.SetMustPreDraw(true);

That will fully render the object normally to a texture then process the effects from that. Otherwise it draws directly with the first effect, which only works for trivial quads (like Sprite does).

Setting it to predraw just made all the effects make everything invisible, instead of some being black boxes.

I can't tell what's going on then I'm afraid, I'd need to see running code that I could debug.
