How to make a collision box?
by Mike Rowley · in Artist Corner · 10/20/2006 (5:38 pm) · 5 replies
In the game I'm making, I need to have collision boxes stop players from accessing other areas (without obstructing their view). Once they've finished what they are supposed to do, the collision box would be deleted. The problem is, I'm using milkshape to make the collision box, but it always renders solid no matter what I put in the name space.
Can someone tell me how I can make this box clear? (and collidable)

I tried a tga file, (original plus alpha merged) but the exporter wouldn't take the tga.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried making a transperant texture in Paint shop pro, that turned out black. I made a black texture, the made a grey scale for the alpha, and merged them. Still came out with a black box.I tried a tga file, (original plus alpha merged) but the exporter wouldn't take the tga.
