[Programming Help] - Transparency and Replay Mode

Looking for some programming help. I'm working on an indicator that will draw rectangles based on my criteria. Currently, I have a for loop that draws each rectangle. When I'm in the chart normally, everything works perfectly. When I go into replay mode, I lose the opacity of the lines.

Image 1: What it should look like. Transparency set to 65

Image 2: Starting replay fresh.

Image 3: As replay continues.

Here's some of my code ...


for (auto barIndex = sc.ArraySize-1; barIndex >= (sc.ArraySize-InLookback); barIndex--)
{
if (barIndex < (sc.ArraySize-InLookback))
break;
if (sc.GetBarHasClosedStatus(barIndex) == BHCS_BAR_HAS_CLOSED)
{
auto rectangle = s_UseTool();
rectangle.ChartNumber = sc.ChartNumber;
rectangle.Region = sc.GraphRegion;
rectangle.AddMethod = UTAM_ADD_ALWAYS;
rectangle.BeginValue = Close[barIndex-1];
rectangle.EndValue = Open[barIndex];
rectangle.BeginIndex = barIndex-1;
rectangle.EndIndex = barIndex + (sc.ArraySize - barIndex);
rectangle.DrawingType = DRAWING_RECTANGLEHIGHLIGHT;
rectangle.LineStyle = LINESTYLE_SOLID;
rectangle.LineWidth = 0;
rectangle.TransparencyLevel = InLineTrans;
// BEAR BARS
if (Close[barIndex-1] < Open[barIndex-1] && Close[barIndex] <= Open[barIndex])
{

// Find GIBs
if (Close[barIndex-1] > Open[barIndex] && Close[barIndex-1] == Low[barIndex-1])
{
if (InGibShow == 1)
{
rectangle.SecondaryColor = InGibColor;
//TEST: I added this next line as a test. With or without, same effect.
rectangle.TransparencyLevel = InLineTrans;
// END TEST
IbType = 1;
}

}

I'm novice with C++ based languages, so, go easy on me :) Any help is appreciated.

Anyone have any ideas on this? It would at least be good to know if this is working as designed in Sierra Chart or if I've mucked up my code.
