Wierd color problem

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Wierd color problem

i have this wierd color problem, i cant change the color of a certain entity, just this one entity, i also cant change the alpha value. I use the entity color command and it does nothing. I searched the entire program for anything that would change the color from the color i chose but there is nothing. very confused, any ideas?

Well, without seeing any code on this one it's going to be a bit hard to try to solve, but here is a shot:

Check to make sure the entity isnt parented to any other entity. I am not sure if this affects child entities however blitz acts a bit strange in these areas (against logical documentation).

nope, not parented to anything, although the entity is an animated mesh if that makes any difference. I really cant post the code because its way to massive, its a big project im working on. Im waaaay confused on this one.

Greetings Puppies,

Have you perhaps created a dummy entity that you use to copy to other entities and forgotten to free it?

Peace,

Jes

no, thats not it, puppy

Use Beakers code on the archives to apply the effect to whole hierarchy. http://www.blitzbasic.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=796

yeah, animated meshes usually have heirarchy data (parented entities and such)
