Slowly changing stencil color

[Apeirogon]

I found set shade function, and after playing a little with it I have a question.
Is it possible to make cacodemon which upon hit slowly change it stencil color to red, and then slowly change it back to default color? And if yes, how to do so?

No, it's not possible, zDoom does not support a rendering style like this (only Stencil and AddStencil). If you want a simple hitflash effect without smooth color transitioning, I can provide it.

you could make another actor that follows the caco's position, copies it's sprite and frame, and then fades out after spawning

If I understand this idea correctly, it would require offsetting the dummy actor by a tiny amount towards the player camera. Possible, but breaks down when viewed from above or below.

i'm fairly certain that newly spawned actors get priority and are rendered on top if they occupy the exact position of another actor

Well, the blood pools from the Ketchup mod cause z-fighting when overlapping, so... Not sure bout that.

Maybe make the first actor invisible while the second actor runs through its color changes. Then it reappears when the second actor is done.

Meh, dont need to. I self can make such hack, just wants to knows is it possible to make using just functions, without actors.

Is it possible with TRANSLATIONs maybe?
I am looking to replicate a similar visual effect. (timestamp 1:41)
UPD. So far the easiest crutch that was ever recommended to me in this regard is simply dropping a colored dynamic light on the monster. But I'd still appreciate your input, if any.
