Hey, pixel, I found, not like someone try to hide it, function like a_setrenderstyle. What interesting about it function that it can paint monsters sprite to some color, say pink, without losing sprite "relief" like in this picture.

So, maybe it can be used to make every/some monster on map cloaking without sprite crutches?

I've posted a suggestion that would allow for that sort of effect but it requires some heavy modifications to the engine.

Just for fun though here's a different heatwave effect (pour in some lava with a dash of godmode):
Heatwave.pk3
@Apeirogon: I think I might already be using a_setrenderstyle so it can be toggled? I've been working on updates for a bunch of other projects so I'm probably misremembering...

@Doomfiend: I concur :mrgreen:

Its easy, just create event with this lines

Code: Select all

override void WorldThingSpawned(WorldEvent e)
{
	if(e.thing.bIsmonster == true)
	{
		e.thing.a_setrenderstyle(1, STYLE_AddShaded); e.thing.SetShade("color in hex notations");
	}
}
to paint monster in some colors.

It also possible change color which shader must "cloak", to match monster color if some custom texture color on map interfere with default shader color.
I try to pick color for you shader by hand, but looks like it hardcoded in it and Im not familiar with shaders enough to change it.

This is awesome.
Would it be possible to replicate it on the player when under the effects of a Blursphere?

If someone wants to apply this shader to other sprites, paint them in specific shade of purple. What exactly shade? Open spectre sprite in something that able to show what exactly color mouse cursor currently pointing at on a picture. I used paint.net.
Spectre sprite constructed from pixels with maxed red and blue color channels with variable green channel color through whole sprite, which represent "roughness" of spectre sprite in this context. See picture

"Kinda like purple" colour will not work here, shader designed to "fill" only this specific shade of purple, see picture

I tested this shader and the effect broke down when using AA, or when the camouflaged sprite is in front of any other purple pixels. Is this a known limitation?
