alpha channel example from Nivram site - dont understand?

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • I don't understand this alpha channel example. I have not used MMF professionally, so I am still learning. When I look at the code for fireworks I only see 5 lines of code. And in those five lines I don't see anything that is creating the effect. Line two makes no sense to me, why create just to destroy. Line 3 only creates one object, the light player, but it appears to create only one, but the example has many objects.

    It just seems like there should be more lines of code, that I am not seeing or I just don't know. I don't understand what I am missing in understanding this example.

    Any help, and instructions would be much appreciated.

    Thanks

  • I am not understanding how the explosion effect is happening and all the balls and trails that follow. I just don't see it in the code. I don't know if something is hidden or there is something more about MMF that I don't know about.

    Active moves on a pinball movement, a new light_shoot is being created at it's position always, the light_shoot object gets deleted once it's fade out animation is over. The light_shoot object is static and does not move with Active, creating a trail effect.
