In ProBuilder, the COLOURED function is used to define colors with an optional transparency parameter. This snippet demonstrates how to use the transparency feature effectively to control the visibility of graphical elements.

COLOURED(r, g, b, t)

The COLOURED function takes four parameters:

  • r: The red component of the color (0-255).
  • g: The green component of the color (0-255).
  • b: The blue component of the color (0-255).
  • t: The transparency level (0-255), where 0 means fully transparent (invisible) and 255 means fully opaque (no transparency).

This function is particularly useful when you need to overlay multiple graphical elements without completely obscuring the elements beneath. By adjusting the transparency parameter, you can achieve the desired visibility and layering effects in your graphical representations.
