is there a way to blit using alphatransparency. i mean if i had a fully opaque image and i wanted to blit it at 50% transparency. is this possible without making a function to redraw the image pixel by pixel?

thanks for the reply

i read that topic, but i still really dont understand how this is done. i have a 100% opaque image and i want to blit it at a % transparency. i would make the png transparent to begin with, but i want the transparency to change frequently throughout my program.

That's another question entirely. My version of Luaplayer (used in Crystalise) does this by providing a screen.setTint(color) method. In normal luaplayer this is not currently possible, except if you use the 3D API.
