Transparency

by Priyadarshi Chowdhary · in Torque Game Engine · 04/18/2004 (12:47 am) · 6 replies

I want to apply a .png file to a wall created in worldcraft, of which some part is transparent, but when i run the game the transparent part looks black color.
is transparency supported ? or i am doing some mistake.

    Transparency is not supported on interior surfaces. Because of the way culling works there's no guarantee anything is being drawn behind any given wall!

    Hmmm but a workaround probably exists, no?

    Try to make a "hole" on the wall so that a portal will be created there. Then manually place a textured quad with transparency at the location, if needed... not sure what you're trying to achieve.

    There were a couple of people working on such a beast. Lore has some fences made this way, but I honestly don't know if they are .DIF or .DTS.

    Hmm, I would go with .DTS shape on that, probably the best solution...
