How do I use sprites?

AceKilljoy,

Use a transparent png instead and use the 3 flag (colour and alpha) to load it. This will give you fade off to transparent, rather than yucky black - or mask colour.

In fact what you could do is texture a cone with a flare style texture - move it, resize it and alpha fade it as your character shoots - that would possibly look even better.

Best regards,
