chaning alpha on character image

[cedes]

I'm working on a battle system and I'm trying to get the enemy to fade in opacity when they're defeated.

Code: Select all

show enemy_2 as e1 at e1_pos

and tried using

Code: Select all

show e1:
            alpha .5

when they're defeated, but it changes the correct iamge of e1 into a default character, they are at .5 opacity though

there'd be multiple different enemies as "e1" so that's why I'm mostly struggling, I'm not sure if I have to try a different method or I'm missing something simple.

Any ideas?
