hi first you need to make a .tga file with alphachannel.You can do it using GIMP or Photoshop
GIMP is for free and very good.
And here is the Code that do what you want

Sql Query:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


PANEL* first_pan = // my first panel
{
	
	
	
	pos_x = 0;
	pos_y = 0;
	layer = 1;
	bmap = "example.tga";
	flags =  SHOW | OVERLAY;
}




/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

function main()
{
video_mode = 7;           
screen_color.blue = 150;
wait(-5);
while(first_pan.alpha>0)
{
first_pan.alpha-=0.05;
wait(1);
}
}

Rich Senior Member Joined: Jan 2002 Posts: 300 Usa	edit: oops user above got here before me Each entity has 100 skill variables assigned to them that you can use for whatever you want. You can access them like this my.skill[0] = 100 //health my.skill[2] = 3 //lives my.skill[99] = 50 //credits you also have access to FLAG1 - FLAG8, and string1 - string2 -(optional)- you can also create 'synonyms' for the skills to name them in a way that makes them easier to use #define HEALTH skill[2] //somewhere in the beginning of your script my.HEALTH = 100 Hope that helps Last edited by Rich; 05/07/10 12:59.
