 Now that you have an image you want to mask, you will need to create an image to use as a mask. Your mask image should comprise of white & alpha transparency. Only the parts of the masked image that overlap the white parts of the mask image will be drawn in.
-Now create a new scene condition & name it something along the lines of '''mask''' - it doesn't actually matter what you call it - then link the condition to the properties section of the mask object. The condition will be used to hide the mask object, as we do not actually need to see the mask image in the game to be able to mask another image.

 The final step is to use the start mask on object action part that will allow you to specify the target (object, scene, or character) & the scene object that contains the mask. To make things simple, let's just apply the mask as soon as the scene loads.
-Click on the scene actions tab then click on the [[File:add_25.png|25px|link=]] button to create a new action. Set the action type as '''at beginning of scene''' & then click on the [[File:add_25.png|25px|link=]] button. Type "mask" into the search bar at the bottom of the action part selection modal. Select the '''mask object with object''' action part. Now link '''object''' to the scene object containing the image/animation you want to mask, then link '''mask''' to the scene object containing the image you want to use as the mask. Voila you are done.
