(Solved) Color Gradient on Screen Text?

[SypherZent]

What is the simplest way to achieve a color gradient on text that is in a screen?

Code: Select all

screen test():
    text "Sample Text" size 64

So, for example, a simple screen like this. I want to color the text with a linear gradient that begins red at the top, blends to blue at the bottom.

What is the simplest way to achieve this in an optimal (not laggy) manner?

Not possible with an ordinary text displayable. Use alphamask instead to achieve that.

Code: Select all

screen something():
  add AlphaMask("gradient.png", Text("The Text", size=64))
  # add AlphaMask(Transform("gradient.png", rotate=90), Text("The Text", size=64))
  #gradient direction rotated 90 deg.

Hmm, I thought AlphaMask would only cause the image to fade to transparency. I will give it a try. In any case, if it does only fade to transparency, I can layer two texts above one another and alpha fade the top, so I am sure I can solve it with this. Thank you!
