Is it possible to have seteffect for just one area of a level? Like, for seteffect over a house..that part a color, the rest of the level be normal?

No, But you could simulate it with a big white image, and color it accordingly. Then use transparency mode (mode = 1 I believe).

PHP Code:


		
			
//Serverside 
function onCreated() {
  setimg("some_white_image_thatyou_made.png");
  dontblock();
}
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  drawaslight();
  this.red = 0; this.green = 0; this.blue = .5; this.alpha = .5;
  setcoloreffect(this.red,this.green,this.blue,this.alpha);
  seteffectmode(1);
}

Could also be done with showpoly too, might even be more flexible

PHP Code:


		
			

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerEnters() {
  this.red = 0; this.green = 0; this.blue = .5; this.alpha = .5;
  this.wd = 10; //How many tiles wide?
  this.ht = 10; //How many tiles long?
  showpoly(200,{this.x,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y+this.ht,this.x,this.y+this.ht});
  changeimgvis(200,3);
  changeimgcolors(200,this.red,this.green.this.blue,this.alpha);
  changeimgmode(200,1);
}

The showpoly would be the best way.

Yeah, i tried it.. But when i try setting the alpha it stays set to .99 (pure white).

have you messed with seteffectmode()?

No, i kept everything the same but this.alpha

Try this alternate code, it seems to work better for some reason:

PHP Code:


		
			
//#CLIENTSIDE

function onPlayerEnters() {

  this.red = 0;

  this.green = 0;

  this.blue = .5;

  this.alpha = .5;

  this.wd = 10; //How many tiles wide?

  this.ht = 10; //How many tiles long?

  showpoly(200,{this.x,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y,this.x+this.wd,this.y+this.ht,this.x,this.y+this.ht});

  with(findimg(200)) {

    red = thiso.red;

    green = thiso.green;

    blue = thiso.blue;

    alpha = thiso.alpha;

    layer = 3;

    mode = 1;

  }

}

The seteffect thing is now just a fullscreen-showpoly with mode 3.

Update: fixed the description on the wiki.
