[hlcoders] [Problem] Valve Material File - Alpha Transparency

Righ so what i've read is that I can add opacity using a map, channel or using the shader. So, to take the easiest method, the shader, I defined $alpha in the VMT file and since it's a range of 0.0 - 1.0 I defined 0.45 so it's just below half opacity. However on my prop_physics it doesnt seem

Re: [hlcoders] [Problem] Valve Material File - Alpha Transparency

I've never used $alpha in a material but my best guess is that you need to add this too: $vertexalpha 1 garry On 8/2/07, Mukkan Yhtiö [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Righ so what i've read is that I can add opacity using a map, channel or using the shader. So, to take the easiest method, the

-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Oh, I should mention that when using the option translucent 1, your materials should have an actual alpha channel embedded in the .tga (so they're 32 bit .tga instead of the normal 24 bit). I wasn't aware that you can actually make a

[hlcoders] Freeze a physics model?

Heres a fun one... I've created a timed smoke greande weapon which detonates after 4.5 seconds. The smoke effect originates from location of the thrown grenade entity when the fuze timer is reached. Problem is, being a round grenade and the fact that it doesn't explode, the model needs to remain

RE: [hlcoders] Freeze a physics model?

PhysForceEntityToSleep() will clear velocity and stop it from moving until acted upon by an external force VPhysicsGetObject()-EnableMotion(false); will lock it in place and prevent any motion (even due to external forces/contacts) until you do VPhysicsGetObject()-EnableMotion(true); Jay
