Homeworld Effects Manual: modifyDeltaLength()

modifyColorA(int , float value)

Legal values: handle must be a valid handle to an object

Makes certain colors opaque or transparent.

modifyColorA() changes the Deltalength attribute for the existing object handle. DeltaLength is the rate at which the Length attribute changes, so this command makes handle get longer or shorter at a different rate. It can even make handle stop shrinking and start growing, or vice versa.
