SetRenderState

Since ID3DXSPRITE batches all sprites that were rendered between the Begin() and End() commands, it''s going to use the last renderstate set. You have to do multiple Begin() End() sets, and change the renderstates for each set.

Your question is wrong. You should be asking how the sprite system works.

SetRenderState changes the render state, right when you call it. Any draw commands that follow use this new state.

The sprite system attempts to gain performance by batching. You do a begin which prepares to batch. You tell it to draw, and it just remembers what you said. You tell it to draw more, and again it just remembers. When you say End(), it takes all that stored information and does a DrawIndexedPrimitive() with it.

Because internally it''s queueing your requests, your render state changes aren''t working as expected. If there''s a flush call, you can try that, or End() and Begin() again. As always you want to limit the number of draw calls, so don''t try to use this change states between each sprite.

Oooh
Seems to be working.
Though now I have to use Begin/End 4 times each instead of 1
hehe
Well, supposed I can live with that
Tnx for the help anyway
