Can Construct 2 use mask?

Can Construct 2 use mask?

I would like to use it for life meter.

You could probably manage something similar with effects/layer effects, but I suspect the performance tradeoff wouldn't be worth it. Can you show what you have in mind visually?

.., see the Blend modes.capx example in Construct 2's examples folder.

Maybe this tutorial would help?

Thanks all for the replies.

I attach the pic for the kind of life meter I want to make.

I think blending will do the trick.

Actually for that I would use a Tiled background over a 9Patch. Is this what you are looking for?

I'd just overlay that shine as a transparent image over a tiled bg (which changes size) if you really must have the stripes.
