How do I hide part of a sprite?

In html you can hide parts of an image using overlay. I'm wondering if a similar thing is possible in Construct 2.

I want to be able to make a hole in a sprite without using colours (Since it would be visible due to the background in the game).

What I'm asking is, is there some kind of effect that can be added to an object to make it hide objects on the same layer as it when they cross.

You can do this using blend modes.

Put two sprites (main sprite and the black "hole" sprite) on the same layer, set "Force own textures" in this layer's properties. And apply Destination Out blend mode to the "hole" sprite.

I tried your solutoin but it didnt work.

You should try again, because it does work. Make sure the "hole" sprite is on top of the main sprite. And both sprites are not on the bottom layer.

Both sprites should be on the same layer, mask sprite should be above the pink square, mask sprite should have "Destination out" blend mode.
