Enumerations
------------

.. _enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_TRANSPARENT:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_SHADED:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_DOUBLE_SIDED:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_FLAG_MAX:

enum **DrawFlags**:

- **FLAG_TRANSPARENT** = **0** --- If set, the texture's transparency and the opacity are used to make those parts of the sprite invisible.

- **FLAG_SHADED** = **1** --- If set, lights in the environment affect the sprite.

- **FLAG_DOUBLE_SIDED** = **2** --- If set, texture can be seen from the back as well. If not, the texture is invisible when looking at it from behind.

- **FLAG_MAX** = **3** --- Represents the size of the :ref:`DrawFlags<enum_SpriteBase3D_DrawFlags>` enum.

----

.. _enum_SpriteBase3D_AlphaCutMode:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD:

.. _class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_OPAQUE_PREPASS:

enum **AlphaCutMode**:

- **ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED** = **0** --- This mode performs standard alpha blending. It can display translucent areas, but transparency sorting issues may be visible when multiple transparent materials are overlapping.

- **ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD** = **1** --- This mode only allows fully transparent or fully opaque pixels. Harsh edges will be visible unless some form of screen-space antialiasing is enabled (see :ref:`ProjectSettings.rendering/anti_aliasing/quality/screen_space_aa<class_ProjectSettings_property_rendering/anti_aliasing/quality/screen_space_aa>`). On the bright side, this mode doesn't suffer from transparency sorting issues when multiple transparent materials are overlapping. This mode is also known as *alpha testing* or *1-bit transparency*.

- **ALPHA_CUT_OPAQUE_PREPASS** = **2** --- This mode draws fully opaque pixels in the depth prepass. This is slower than :ref:`ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED<class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISABLED>` or :ref:`ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD<class_SpriteBase3D_constant_ALPHA_CUT_DISCARD>`, but it allows displaying translucent areas and smooth edges while using proper sorting.
