If your texture is PNG, TGA or DDS it needs it's own alpha channel. Otherwise, could the SET OBJECT DIFFUSE command be interfering?

How do you give it its own alpha channel?

Here's a tutorial for photoshop:

You should be able to adapt it for other paint programs.

If you're using DDS format, copy and paste the area you want transparent into the pre-existing alpha channel (if you're using an alpha DDS format).

Otherwise you could try a different format for your texture, such as JPG, with your current code.

Try a different transparency level like 1 instead of 4.

set object transparency B_Building_1,1
