with dbBox, i dont think you can, but you can either draw your own created box ( might be slow, unless you know a faster function than dbDot() ), or simply use a sprite

Think this works for any 3D object:


EDIT: Is dbBox 2D? if so then I have misunderstood, sorry.

Yes dbBox is a 2D box that stays on your sreen, I'm using it as an whithe textbox but I want that you can see a litle bit what's behind so it isn't a pure whithe box.
If someone knows how to make this in DarkGDK Than my problem is over

dbSetSpriteAlpha ( ); for sprite transparency

dbSetObjectTransparency(); ( or something like that )
+
dbSetAlphaMappingOn ( );
for 3d alpha

I haven't tested it but I would do it like this:

1. Draw the box. dbBox
2. Copy this box from the screen to an image used to make a sprite. dbGetImage
3. Create a sprite from this image. dbSprite
4. Change the alpha of this sprite to make it transparent. dbSetSpriteAlpha

Check out the DarkGDK Documentation that came with your installation for more info on the commands.
You could skip steps 1 and 2 if you load the image from a file.

Now the plot thickens, the fps decreases, and the awesomeness goes through the roof.

Try this


dw1 = color of the top/left-Corner.
dw2 = color of the top/right-Corner.
dw3 = color of the bottom/left-Corner.
dw4 = color of the bottom/right-Corner.

Set Dw1, dw2, dw3 and dw4 to this Color '0x80000080' and you have a Box colored dark-blue with 50% transparency. Colorformat is '0xAARRGGBB'

AA = Alpha-Value
RR = Red-Value
GG = Green-Value
BB = Blue-Value

Take this Makro in a Include-File or on Top of your Source.



Then you can use this so ...



The Valus's must betwen 0-255.

EDIT: To get the right Color-Value you can use a Paintprogram like "Paint" or "PaintDotNet"(this is my favorite)
