Madrix script - ALPHA constant ignored

[qniens]

The ALPHA constant is ignored in the SetPixel draw function.

Code: Select all

@scriptname="";
@author="";
@version="";
@description="";

void InitEffect()
{

}

void RenderEffect()
{
	color red		= {255,0,0,0,0};
	SetPixel(red, 10,10);
    	
  	color opacity	= {0,0,0,0,0};  
	SetPixel(opacity,10,10,ALPHA);
	
	//expected result -> The pixel stays red
	//returned result -> The pixel becomes black
	//ALPHA constant is ignored
}

void MatrixSizeChanged()
{
	InitEffect();
}

Is there a work around for this problem?

Hello qniens,
.
Thank you for reporting the issue. At the moment it is not possible to work with the ALPHA parameter in the "Draw" functions.
.
A work around could be to work again with the "SetPixel" function but without the "ALPHA" parameter and set everytime the desired color. Maybe you need to calculate a mix color first.
Or if you only want to dim the pixel you can work with the function "DimPixel(float value, int x, int y)".

Hello Guertler,

Thank you for your reply.
The work around is workable.

Perhaps you should remove the paragraph about the ALPHA constant in the manual:
