Make Sprite lighter

totebo

Having a mind blank. Is there a way to make a sprite lighter in Gideros?

sprite:setColorTransform(?,?,?) ?

Yeah, the mind blank was if there was an easy way to just make the sprite lighter. I think I was thinking about tinting, from the Flash days. This is how I solved it:

local brightness = math.random(10)/10 r = r/255 + lightness g = g/255 + lightness b = b/255 + lightness sprite:setColorTransform(r,g,b)

Cool, yeh I've used this a lot in my game for animating a day night cycle. I set the color on each corner of a mesh and you can get a nice gradient for a sunrise and sunset

Nice idea!

There is an alternative solution. Create sprites lighter! (in photoshop or ...) and setColorTeransform it for normal appearance.

I use this in my game to make the character flash red:

self.flashingTween = GTween.new(self, .1, { redMultiplier=1.5, greenMultiplier=.01, blueMultiplier=.01 })

Haven't tried altering the values to make them whiter but it should work.

Ah, I see you solved it
