A_CustomFlash(str statement, int layer)

[DoomKn1ght]

As far as I remember png native transluency work right in gzdoom since it has been fixed.I tested it with muzzleflash it
look correct though will look better with additive blending I think.

Hey, by the way, why not this instead :

A_CustomFlash(str statement, int layer [, bool renderstyle [, bool alpha]])

While the renderstyle would mean :

0 - normal
1 - translucent
2 - additive
3 - fuzzy (though I doubt its usefulness)

a bit like A_SetTranslucent.

Er, heh, unless I'm mistaken, a bool is either 0 or 1 (false and true), so 'bool renderstyle' would cause a lot of problems .

You're not mistaken. Also, it also having the alpha value as a boolean would also be pretty useless.

I didn't even know what is a boolean value, every optional value I've seen in a function was a boolean
I thought it was an optional value

So I was saying...

A_CustomFlash(str statement, int layer [, int renderstyle [, int alpha]])

Good ? Bad ?

I'm the guy with the gun.

Theoretically ok, but since multiple weapon sprite layers are not implemented this may take a while to get to.

Also keep in mind that weapon rendering inherits its render style from the player so there's more complex issues to be considered. If you give yourself a Raven Shadowsphere in Doom and then fire the chaingun you may see something not so nice but it's an inevitable limitation.

Alpha's a float, not an integer.

Alpha's a float, not an integer.

Damn, I'm definitely not good at this...

Alright then, it won't be a disaster if we don't get it.

The basic function is just fine for me - not to mention it would be MUCH easier to reproduce Build weapons in Doom.

Could the players' renderstyle override the flash's?

Also: YES! It's implied that this is getting in !
