Is it possible to draw an object in a mode other than Alpha such as add, multiply, multiply*2 etc?
If not, how easy would it be to add them?

thanks for that. Still getting to grips with the number of commands. Is there a way to do a 'shade' mode (think it's 'subtractive') other than a dropshadow?

HUD_SetLayerBlend LayerID, 1 <- normal
HUD_SetLayerBlend LayerID, 2 <- substractive (dark)
HUD_SetLayerBlend LayerID, 3 <- additive (bright)
etc..

Manual states for SetLayerBlend
1 - Alpha (normal)
2 - Multiply
3 - Bright

Sorry to reply on my own post.
The layer modes are fine and I notice they use EntityBlend.
However, Textureblend has been updated to have dot3 and Mod2x blend modes.
Is it possible to use textureblend rather than entityblend?
Thanks
<EDIT>
I've tried using it like this...
Function HUD_SetLayerBlend2 (LayerID%, blendmode%)
tg_texture1 = HUD_GetLayerTexture (layerid)
tg_texture2 = HUD_GetTextureHandle (tg_texture1)
TextureBlend tg_texture2, blendmode
End Function
but blend mode 2 (multiply) doesn't seem to work anymore.
<edit2> I couldn't quite get this to work for all modes so had to do the following...
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
; PUBLIC FUNCTION: SET LAYER BLEND MODE
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function HUD_SetLayerBlend (LayerID%, blendmode%)
Local Layer.SC_Layer = Object.SC_Layer(LayerID) : If Layer = Null Then RuntimeError SC_BreakText("HUD_SetLayerBlend||You specified an invalid layer ID. Make sure, this layer exists.",50)
tg_texture1 = HUD_GetLayerTexture (layerid)
tg_texture2 = HUD_GetTextureHandle (tg_texture1)
TextureBlend tg_texture2, 1
EntityBlend Layer\Mesh, blendmode
; TextureBlend layer\textureID, blendmode
End Function
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
; PUBLIC FUNCTION: SET LAYER BLEND 2 MODE : TGCHANGE
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Function HUD_SetLayerBlend2 (LayerID%, blendmode%)
Local Layer.SC_Layer = Object.SC_Layer(LayerID) : If Layer = Null Then RuntimeError SC_BreakText("HUD_SetLayerBlend||You specified an invalid layer ID. Make sure, this layer exists.",50)
EntityBlend Layer\Mesh, 1
tg_texture1 = HUD_GetLayerTexture (layerid)
tg_texture2 = HUD_GetTextureHandle (tg_texture1)
TextureBlend tg_texture2, 1
TextureBlend tg_texture2, blendmode
End Function
Multiply mode didn't seem to work with textureblend so I had to use entityblend and reset it each call or else the multiplied texture disappeared. Not sure why.
