Hallo, a couple problems... Coding with DBpro, models made in Gamespace...
1) Alpha mapping
This one is for my Snake-comp-entry, so if it's against rules to ask for help, please ignore this question
Some of my objects are semi-transparent, so i've been using the '
set alpha mapping on objectnumber, 35' thing. Works perfectly UNLESS there is a certain kind of block behind it. The two types of block:
if blocktype=1 then load object "BricksBlock.x",var1: scale object var1,2500,2500,2500
if blocktype=2 then load object "BricksBlock.x",var1: scale object var1,2500,2500,2500: texture object var1,4
So the only difference is the texture thing, i'm confused about why that would make any kind of difference
The second blocktype disapear if a alpha mapped block is between it and the camera...

http://www.photodump.com/direct/tifu/water02.jpg < that is the exact same place, but an alpha mapped plane is above the blocks now... as you can see only the blocktype2's have become invisible, you can still see the blocktype1's that are around the edge of the arena
2) set object transparency
This one is for my main project of the moment
This is a city made in Gamespace. Code that loads it:
LOAD OBJECT "rooms/"+room$+".x",6
SCALE OBJECT 6,objectsize,objectsize,objectsize
set object transparency 6,1
set object light 6,1
So the problem in this one, is that there the character is looking through, is a fence. The bits of the texture that are black, are working fine, they're transparent and you can see through fine... but the bits that make up the fence (which are red, because I was testing something... it did the same when it was grey like metal) appear to act like x-ray specs. You can see that lil girl through that building o_O Those fence bits should be solid and you sure as hey shouldn't be able to look through them like that
Any help appreciated
