[Solved] Space Invaders color overlay

  1. Just in case something happens mid-game that might mess everything up, so i kept the Trigger Once condition :confused:

  2. the colorsw variable is for changing the overlay,
    0= no overlay, 1= TV version overlay, 2= CV version overlay.
    each “animation” is just one frame, so it’s technically a static image. the only important values are the opacity :confused:

  3. let me try again on the snipping tool, might work.
    i’m using my phone (Google Chrome with desktop site active) to type out everything until today, because my PC won’t connect to Wi-Fi for some reason?

update on #3 : it still can’t. no matter what i do or how many times i troubleshoot, “Can’t connect to this network”

can anybody give suggestions on what should i do to fix this?

Home WiFi? Maybe reboot the router?

You can replicate the CRT color overlay in GDevelop by adding a semi-transparent colored sprite (like red/green bands) over the game screen. Place it on a top layer and lock it to the camera. This will give that classic arcade look.

that’s what i originally did.

wasn’t working tho

There’s something that’s not right here, but I can’t figure it out from what you’ve given so far. Would you mind zipping up your project and making it available on a shared drive? PM me if you’re not comfortable with it being publicly available.

here’s the overlay test video

the project file is not a singular game so idk how to, like, separate and send that scene only

i mean i can make a new project and do the thing all over again, but i don’t really have time :confused:

i was expecting something like this

i mean do i do this with standard events or javascript code? i don’t know any js so idk how all of this will turn out

Yeah, I understand what you’re trying to achieve.

That link didn’t work. I get

Are you able to try again, or try another site?

overlay test 1

whoops sorry missed something, forgot to hyperlink it

That is a link to a webm file, a video. I’ll PM you.

Setting the opacity to 100, I got:

Via the editor was a bit trickier, because the overlay was locked - bring up the instance list by clicking this button image in the top right of the editor:

But once unlocked (click the padlock or no entry icon in the overlay row), I set opacity to 40% in the editor:


However, I think this is the effect you’re after:

Which was achieved by adding the Blending Mode effect to the overlay sprite and setting the blend mode to 2 (Multiply):
