Advanced Fade Filters

[Fulla]

How do you Advanced Fade Filters, without making them block out ability tooltips. Whenever I display a fade filter such as an imported tag image, I can't see the tooltips of any unit abilities until I get rid of the Fade Filter?

However in some maps I've seen it where you could!!
Anyone know how to accomplish this?

Maybe use a picture with 100% transparency/alpha. Then just paste your picture right into it?

If it's an image then I don't think you can (normally) else it is done by a fog effect (for a whole color changing screen).

Or maybe use the bugged DisplayImage function (spelling?), PitzerMike made a map using it (Minesweeper or something like that).

Heres an example ingame, notice how I can't see the ability tooltips:

I attached the image I use, its a layer placed over a blank layer.
Something else I need to do, or is there simply an option I'm not doing correctly in the jass trigger?

EDIT: Gah can't attach

Are you using the Fade Filter function? Or the DisplayImage (still spelling?)?

  //Globals Setup
    set Fade[0]="Fade_Bunker2.tga"
    set Fade[1]="Fade_Plunge.tga"
    set Fade[2]="Fade_FacingWorlds.tga"
    set Fade[3]="Fade_Lava2.tga"
    set Fade[4]="Fade_Stronghold.tga"
    set Fade[5]="Fade_Crossroads.tga"
    set Fade[6]="Fade_Sewers.tga"

  //When I want to display (Sync is for doing previous/next arena)
    call CinematicFadeBJ(1, 1, Fade[Sync], 100., 100., 100., 0)

Search around on Wc3C and see if you can find any information regarding the DisplayImage function. It may be the solution for this.

Hmm well, I looked in another map and it uses that exact functio & works fine.
Heres a screenshot of image file as I can't attach it here.
The background is blank, with a simple Text layer on top.

Just set the blend mode to "normal" and it should work correctly.

"SetCineFilterBlendMode(BLEND_MODE_BLEND)"

Ah thx, that didn't work on its own, but if you add this each time after applying a fade it works.

        call EnableUserUI(true)

 

[Viikuna]

That is because CinematicFadeBJ contains EnableUserUI(false)

 

[Fulla]

Aha!!

Dude learn to use natives directly, though some BJ functions are useful. Paste BJ function to wc3jass.com function finder and see what it contains. I learned useful things from this thread today.
