A_SetTranslucent

A_SetTranslucent (float alpha, int mode)

Sets translucency for the calling actor.

There are 3 modes:

• 0: normal translucency blending. This mode combined with an alpha setting of 1.0 will make the actor opaque.
• 1: additive blending.
• 2: Doom's Spectre's fuzz effect. Alpha has no meaning with this setting.

alpha specifies the amount of visibility and is a value between 0.0 (not visible) and 1.0 (fully visibile).

Examples

This rocket variant displays its explosion with additive translucency. Slight visual enhancement.
