Scaleform's set_mask_actor function only takes one argument as an object to mask

[bioticfoundry]

I'm trying to get a scroll window going, and I've created a "mask" object, but the set_mask_actor function only takes one argument as an object to mask, and it doesn't accept tables.  What's the proper methodology for masking multiple objects with one mask?

Hi bioticfoundry,

Please have a look at the scaleform docs for this function:

In the mean time, I will reach out for a more specific answer to your question and get back to you.

Unfortunately, each mask object can mask only one actor and its children. If you want to mask actors without masking a common parent, you would need to create multiple copies of your mask.
