hello…

How can I insert a mask in a new group?

I have tiles for an isometric game.

I use a mask for a grass tile, and I can see the “little” grass on top

but as soon as I insert the tile in a new group

I can not see the “little” grass on top of the tile

the mask is not working…

This is the code

local maskGrass1 = graphics.newMask( "images/maskGrass1.png" ) --\< THE MASK &nbsp; &nbsp; local tiles = {} function createBoard1()&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; for i = 1, 20 do&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; for j = 1, 20 do &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; local aTile = display.newImageRect(sceneGroup, "images/grass1.png", 128, 64 ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; tiles[i] = aTile -- For efficient instead of multiple lookups. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile:setMask( maskGrass1 ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; floorGroup1:insert( aTile ) -- \<-- RIGHT HERE IS THE GROUP &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile.isHitTestMasked = true&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile.x = 128\*(i-1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile.y = 64\*(j-1) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile.myID = (i-1) \* 20 + j -- not sure where your ids are coming from, so I did this &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile.touch = onTouch &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; aTile:addEventListener( "touch" ) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; end&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; end end

I appreciate your help

The mask should not need to be inserted as it’s own image, it’s kind of joined with the image that you applied it too.
