Overlay effects

#1 Post by erlesha »

Hi!

How can I use animated overlay effects for my game? So, I need this effect to cover the whole content - text, buttons and the sprites.

Ant it should be shown even over the videos. (if its possible)

You can put your animation in a screen and make sure the zorder is higher than any other screen and that should do it.


For the videos make them into displayables like this;

image video_sky= Movie(play="movie/sky.ogv")

and they will be handled like images and go below the screen layer
