is there anyway to do something similar, say turn the blade of the energy sword transparent and have it take the players color? i've been messing around with your code and a quick sprite edit of my own to try to get a player colored lightsaber but i can't quite figure it out. just wondering if you can offer any insight please
gml only lets you blend a color onto the sprite. (why i include projectile sprites that are greyscaled). so if you did the handle would be blended as well. also we dont have access to how the game renders the players weapons. (the weapon sprite is drawn on the player but isnt its own object). if i were to do it i would take the energy sword sprite replace it with one with out the line. and have that be drawn over the player with bind_script_draw using gunangle/wepflip/bwepflip and image_blending it. but that seems like a pain to get working
