MoveBrush with Transparency

[Juan Carlos]

To the instruction MoveBrush(id, xa, ya, xb, yb[, table]) in the table options will be possible the option of Transparency as in the DisplayBrush where you can give a value among 0-255? I thing that this option with MoveBrush will be difficult to implement because the instruction will have recalculate the transparency with each movement on the background and it will needs a lot of CPU usage.
Utility of this paramater, well for demos or games to do for example: ghosts, Predator effect, etc.

If using Layers, you could first use: SetLayerTransparency(id, level) and then MoveBrush and afterwards again SetLayerTransparency to gain temporary transparency.

Or did I miss what you were after?

The problem using Layers is that some instructions don't work, is more easy to use the MoveDisplay.

Sorry, that won't come because it goes beyond the scope of what MoveBrush() can do. The only way to do this with MoveBrush() is using layers.

[Juan Carlos]

But using Layers, that it is a good solution there is problem with the use the sprites.

If you have layers, you don't need sprites because you can do everything with layers that can be done with sprites.
