Think this is the page with the list on, and here's an image to help:

I still dont understand what to put in the code to make effects, can you give an example?

Mdkar

local function Glow(i, colr, colg, colb)
return 1, 0x00000008, [element #]
end
tpt.graphics_func(Glow, [element #])

--I think That is how it works. There are other examples in scripts made by other people.

DanielGalrito

local function Glow(i, colr, colg, colb)
return 1, 0x00000008, tpt.element('alph')
end
tpt.graphics_func(glow, tpt.element('alph'))

This way?

yes, that looks right. Except one function is called "Glow" and the other "glow" so make sure it's the same capitalization :P. Also acatually that's totally broken, try something like this instead:

local function glow(i, colr, colg, colb)
return 1, ren.FIRE_ADD, 255, colr, colg, colb, 70, colr, colb, colg
end
tpt.graphics_func(glow, tpt.element('dmnd'))

.....Not exactly what I'd call a perfect article on the topic though. I'm updating TPTElements, so it'll be better soon :P
