Making a sprite have a transparant background color in TGB

by Josias Gibbs · in Torque Game Engine · 08/08/2008 (7:03 pm) · 2 replies

I have a static sprite in Torque Game Builder which has a black background. How do I make that background transparent (ie: make all black pixels transparant)? I'm assuming there's an easy way to do this, I'm just not sure how.

You don't do that in TGB, you do that in your art itself. Eg. erase the blackground so it IS transparent, save it as a png with transparency.

TGB keeps the alpha settings of PNG's?!?! That's the best news I've heard in years! Thanks.

Thanks for all the info.
