Ciao guys,

I am trying to spawn and work with sprites but I got two problems:

1) Cannot change sprite color (I tried different render modes and even SetEntityRenderColor)
2) Seems like sprite cannot be scaled under 0.25 (I would like to go lower)

my code

PHP Code:

if ((iSprite = CreateEntityByName("env_sprite")) != -1) {
    DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "model", "materials/something.vmt");
    
    DispatchKeyValueFloat(iSprite, "scale", 0.125);    
    DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "rendercolor", "0 255 0");

    DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "rendermode", "0");
    DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "spawnflags", "1");

    DispatchSpawn(iSprite);
    TeleportEntity(iSprite, fPos, NULL_VECTOR, NULL_VECTOR);
} 


Do you have any ideas guys? Did I miss something?

For color did you remember to use:

PHP Code:

SetEntityRenderMode(iSprite, RENDER_TRANSCOLOR); 


then

PHP Code:

SetEntityRenderColor(iSprite, 0, 255, 0, 255); 


Not sure if this is the case, but give it a try.

Also try adding this untop of "rendercolor"

PHP Code:

DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "RenderAmt", "255"); 


RenderAmt = Alpha in RGBA.

For size try:

PHP Code:

DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "scale", "0.125");

I found out that I had bad shader in material and that caused the problem with coloring.
However, the scaling doesn't seem to work properly, I can only get sprite to scale like 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0 etc...

I guess I just have to make the texture smaller...

Anyway, thx for your income! ;-)

No problem !

However did you try to change your:

PHP Code:

DispatchKeyValueFloat(iSprite, "scale", 0.125); 


To:

PHP Code:

DispatchKeyValue(iSprite, "scale", "0.125"); 


Not sure if result is the same.

Yeah I did, but without success :-/

Well, i think making the material smaller is the only option then, luckily thats also easier
