Set tone for a Sprite object?

[JustinAC]

I'm currently working on trying to find a way to show a HUD-like meter on the screen but I'm running into a big issue.

The teleport events in the game all set the screen tone to zero before teleporting, then they restore the screen tone. My HUD is simply a collection of Sprite class objects that are created while Scene_Map is running. Is there any way to make these Sprites mimic the screen tone so that they will fade out automatically with the screen so that I do not have to place my HUD's "hide" code in each and every teleport event? :-/

Sure. On the update, run the Sprite's "tone" property as $game_screen.tone - so as an example:

@some_sprite.tone = $game_screen.tone

Yeah. Had I been smart enough to realize that I HAVE the Sprite class syntax, I would have found that, but thank you for drawing my attention to it. I figured that's what I had to do, but I was getting an error when trying to set the tone of the sprite once it had been disposed. Thankfully, I found the Sprite documentation along with the disposed? method to solve this problem. =p

Look forward to seeing this system in Dark Eternal 2, at any rate.
