How do I X-Ray System

Hello, I'm looking for a way to make an X-Ray system to see my character behind objects with a certain color, Let's assume it's a Light Blue to highlight. I can not have any idea how to do it.

Can you post an example image of how you'd like the effect to look?

Anything's possible, but this might not be easy!

This effect! Exatly this!

It's a great question as I was wondering the same lately ^^ I'll need it as well very soon.

I think it could be made with blends effects but frankly I don't know how. But check blends effects

Yeah, that's gonna be hard. I can't think of a good way to do that without it being waaaaay more trouble than it's worth, right now. But I'm thinking about it! Let me get back to you if I come up with a solution. As Conker says, it will most likely be some combination of blend modes or effects and perhaps masking.

Hello, your capx employee perfectly if my character was static xD The problem is in my character because he has animations how to proceed with this problem?

What is the difference ?

I don't know, animations? Does not give any problem with the animations?

Seeing statics as an animation with only one image, I don't see neither the difference.

I slightly modified 99Instances2Go 's example to show how to handle animations and the Inverse effect:

Basically, since you have 2 sprites, one with the Inverse effect and the other one that works as the base, you have to make certain that both sprites have the same animations, with the same frames, so they are synchronized.

You also have to be careful to mirror, or modify, both sprites at the same time to keep the illusion in place.

Did you know that you can make a exact copy this way ?

Including position, mirror, angle, size, even calculated paths ... etc ...

Actually I did not know you could do that. Quite helpful. I wonder if it could affect performance if you did that with many sprites since it is setting the Xray sprite via JSon every tick.

Quite ingenuous solution. I may try it for one of my games.

This effect! Exatly this!

Here's what I came up with last night after reading your post and this is close as I can get. Not sure if this is what you're looking for but check out my tutorial below.

Here's for you also to look at. See if this is what you need. I made this last night.
