Re: Controling the pan property of overlayed nodes?

[James C. W. <jfc...@ya...>]

Thanks for getting back to me:)
 
I'm trying to make a binocular overlay, much like the telescope in the pipmak demo, only the lenses are made to look smudged and cracked-that's what's causing the problem.
There are other possible uses-a simple flashlight, for example.

Thanks,
 James

First of all, apologies for the lack of response. When you posted this  
question, I seemed to remember that the same thing had already been  
discussed once on this list before, so I wanted to consult that  
discussion before responding, but couldn't immediately find it, and  
eventually I just forgot about it. Sorry.

I have found it now, it's at
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user/335>
and
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.devel/120/focus=123>
and actually concerns a slightly different problem.

As to your question, are you sure that the overlay already blocks  
panning where "even slightly opaque"? That must be a bug - it's  
supposed to do it only where more than half opaque. If that is a  
problem too, then I'm afraid, no, there is no way around it that I'm  
aware of. Perhaps that could be tackled together with the problem from  
that other discussion. Can you describe in a bit more detail what your  
use case is, to give me some idea of why this would be useful?
