Phase effect?

Is there a block or extension that would make echoes of a character go behind them (like the roaring knight) or would I have to animate it myself.

Example:

The Roaring Knight The Knight GIF - The Roaring Knight The Knight Deltarune  - Discover & Share GIFs

The only issue I can see is the color fade, which would need a separate color used for each shade. If you made pixels disappear over time instead of fading, this would be completely possible to program yourself in blocks. You want to create a sprite with a “lifetime” set so that it dies after a certain amount of ms, and create that sprite with the image of your player every so often, which should recreate the effect without the fading.

I think it is possible to make that sort of effect, because some people have already done stuff like that, like @danger_kitty made those effects in Frost Haven, but he hasn’t made an extension! I can try to make an extension!

Just whipped up an extension! Paste this game link into the extsnion bar and you’re set!

Put the extension block into a game update block to use!

Not to my knowledge, likely because transparent pixels aren’t possible in MakeCode, but I have seen some games that use a lighter version of the sprite following behind it to mimic an echo!
