LÖVE

Hi!

I'm working on making units flash red and white when taking damage. I don't have any problems drawing them red using the alpha blend mode and setColor but I can't figure out how to be able to draw them completely white.

setColor to white with the default blend mode should work. If that doesn't, please upload your .love so we can do more to help you.

If you use love.graphics.setColor and set it to 255,255,255 then Löve will draw them in their original colors. Try 254,254,254 instead - the difference should not be noticable by the naked eye.

@ Robin
Thats what love uses as standard and as Germanunkol said there won't be any difference.

@Germanunkol
Sorry, but how would that help?

I've uploaded a small example so you can try it out yourself.

EDIT: Ops failed with the .love, try this one instead.
EDIT2: Okey still failing, OT how do I require files correctly when making .love files?

Sorry, my remark was nonesense. Setting it to a bright color just makes it display the normal way.

You could just use two images and swap them out?

Sometimes requiring files isn't case-sensitive until you zip the files. That was the case with this. You put require "AnAl" when the file is AnAL.
New file with this fixed.

Thanks Qcode!

@Germanunkol, that is a solution, however in this case that would mean double sets of animations which are big on their own. I'm pretty sure you can do it with code.

Nope, i had a similar problem and replace ('Replace color mode. Images (etc) will not be affected by current color.') don't affect images.

You can do this only via shader (pixeleffect).

You can do it with mapPixel
press "x" for damage

Thanks Zeliarden, that's just what I was looking for! I had no idea it existed, time to get some serious feedback implemented!
