I am creating a 3D game. I have objects in my game. When an enemy hits my position I want my screen to go red for a short time. I have chosen to do this by trying to render a full screen red square at my camera position. This is my attempt which is in my render method.
RenderQuadTerrain();
//Draw the skybox
CreateSkyBox(vNewPos.x, vNewPos.y, vNewPos.z,3500,3000,3500);
DrawCoins();
CollisionTest(g_Camera.Position().x, g_Camera.Position().y, g_Camera.Position().z);
DrawEnemy();
DrawEnemy1();
//Draw SecondaryObjects models
DrawSecondaryObjects();
//Apply lighting effects
LightingEffects();
escapeAttempt();
if(hitbyenemy==true){
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_ONE, GL_ONE); // additive blending
float blendFactor = 1.0;
glColor3f(blendFactor ,0,0); // when blendFactor = 0, the quad won't be visible. When blendFactor=1, the scene will be bathed in redness
glBegin(GL_QUADS); // Draw A Quad
glVertex3f(-1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Top Left
glVertex3f( 1.0f, 1.0f, 0.0f); // Top Right
glVertex3f( 1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f); // Bottom Right
glVertex3f(-1.0f,-1.0f, 0.0f); // Bottom Left
glEnd();
}
All this does, however, is turn all of the objects in my game a transparent colour, and I can't see the square anywhere. I don't even know how to position the quad. I'm very new to openGL.
How my game looks without an attempt to render a quad:

With Kevin's code and glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST)

EDIT: I have changed the code to the below paste..still looks like image 1.
