Selection frame like in RTS games, works both on mobile and desktop devices.

Hello,

When I use these actions in this order in the same event (called only once with a condition that is not a trigger):
- System::Create object MySprite
- MySprite::Set color rgbEx255(255, 0, 0)
I can see the sprite in white for one frame before it is drawn in red.

Is it a normal behavior? Can I do something in order to see the sprite with the right color immediately?

Thanks!

Are you using 'set color' or 'set effect parameter'? I found I had better luck getting this to work by changing the parameter value.

You could also move the 'set color' action to an 'on created' event for the sprite.
