I was just wondering how to do it and yes, there's the ghost effect but that makes the entire thing transparent. Can someone please help on this.

To make something transparent, use the paint brush tool and select the transparent color at the bottom left of the color selection. It has a red line through it.

But I only want to make it partly transparent not fully.

oh. hm. Then I don't think you can, beside the ghost effect you really can't.

Ok thank you.

You might be able to make the sprite in two parts, the one part being the one you want fully visible, and the other one is the one you want somewhat transparent, and then you can use the ghost effect on the sprite that has the part you want to be transparent.

I was thinking of that but I wasn't sure if that would work. Thank you!

You can clone each part, and for one part of the sprite you can set it transparent using ghost effect, and with the other just keep it to 0 ghost effect.

You can, but you have to use an art or editing program to accomplish this. I’ll use the program Procreate for an example, but as long as you know how to use layers and opacity, you should be fine with any program.

Here I’m trying to make a flower, but I want the middle to be semi-transparent
I’ll draw on two separate layers; one has the petals and other has the center. Then I’ll reduce the opacity to my desired level (technically make ghost effect). When you’re ready to export, don’t forget to turn off the background, and export it as a PNG file to it won’t show the background. (Sorry that the images are so huge lol)


When you upload it to Scratch, the middle will be transparent and the rest will be solid… and that’s all there is to it! I hope this helps!

You can do two sprites. One for the body and another for the part you want to parcially disappear

Thank you guys so much for the help!!! I was thinking of most of the things you guys have said but I was just making sure.
