Transparant walls

Apple · Post by **Apple** » Thu Nov 29, 2007 8:03 pm

Hi, i'm a beginer in map making (a big newb).
i want to know how you can make transparant walls, but still able to see them.

Any help?

Code: Select all

material
 name invisible
 color 0.5 0.5 0.5 0.5
end

meshbox
 position 0 0 0
 size 10 10 10
 matref invisible
end

That makes walls a semitransparent gray. See here for how to make invisible walls, and check the wiki for Material, and how to apply it to a Meshbox.

How can you make see-through, drive-through structures?

Change drivethrough to shootthrough to let bullets through, but not tanks, or passable for both tanks and bullets.

I tried that. it only let me part-way through the object!

i'm "running into" the same problem - if i remove the matref, i can drive through, but no transparency. if i include the matref, i can see through it, but get stuck driving through. Any thoughts?

Did you use meshbox or box.

I have had the same problem with box.

But meshbox does fine.

As of 2.0.10, BZFS will accept a material applied to a box as well as the meshbox.

yes, but for some reason when you apply a material to a box, drivethrough will not allow for complete passage.

File a bug report at SourceForge with an example map file that exhibits the behavior.
