I want to render some animation (sprites, particles etc.) on game buttons or logo and everything that does not fit into the mask(silhouette) should be cropped.
What can I do?
Thanks

hmm, you can prepare the anim images with SetImageMask at alpha channel
or as rectangle using SetSpriteScissor ( iSpriteIndex, x, y, x2, y2 ) SetScissor ( x, y, x2, y2 )
maybe also useful is DrawSprite( iSpriteIndex ) in this combination
update particels in time steps with this command UpdateParticles

I think you don't understand what I want Markus...
Imagine if you want to make some particles right on TEXT! Croping using Scissor it's not the way for this...
I was thinking about the SetRenderToImage with black transparent key, but it's not that easy to fit this on the sprites...

hmm, something to play with, don't know if it is what you can use but sprites or particles appear inside a text.

Wow! It is very cool! Thank a lot Markus!
Unfortunately I have much more complicated situation and I've solved this by using 3d text with transparent texture... Unfortunately I was not able to use particles...
AGK doesn't have simple ways for such a complex things...

Similar to what Markus has done, you can put a sprite behind the button, and also use SetSpriteScissor to contain it within the button size. Use Sprite UVs to move the texture.

I found some info in the forums on using masks: https://forum.thegamecreators.com/thread/204393

I've had good success with multi-layered alpha pngs - although there is a performance hit with some devices when using lots of alpha layers.
