Hi all,

I just tried to complete the plugin tutorial at http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/construct/index.php?title=How_To:_Create_a_plugin.

I get the plugin loaded and compiled, but can't get the colour output of the gradient calculator as an input to the color filter property of the sprite.

I do the following steps:

* Create a sprite image

* Create a GradientCalculator object

* Add a new event handler for System / Start of Layout

* New Action -> Sprite -> Set Colour Filter. Here I get a color picker. There is no way to enter an expression.

How can I get the GradientCalculator output into the colour filter input?

Thank you!

Never mind, I found it myself.

Right-click the "Filter" bar in Parameters for "Sprite-set Color filter" and choose "Use Expression". Maybe this option should be more visible?
