Hello!
If I understand correctly, the effect you are trying to achieve can be done using a photo editor (Photoshop, GIMP, Inkscape). This sort of effect uses an images' alphachannel to create it. I'll leave up a tutorial I found for the effect:
The way I would tackle the problem would be to set up an image in a quad primitive and attach a script called ScratchCardEffect to the image I want the effect applied to. The script would put a gray image on top of the original image that gets 'Scratched' as the alphachannel value decreases, thus revealing the image behind.
I hope this helps you a bit at least!
Good luck :)
PS: If you are trying to do an interactive scratch effect, then that is much more difficult.
