Alpha blending won't work with vertex-coloured entity...

Basically, I can't get a mesh to look transparent with alpha blending when the mesh is using vertex colours (EntityFX ent,2). Blending works if I use additive blending (EntityBlend ent,3) but I can't alter the severity of the effect by setting a value with EntityAlpha, which works when I display a mesh with vertex colouring turned off. I'm not texturing the mesh at all, BTW.

Thanks in advance!

There is a separate alpha blending method for working with vertex color (VertexAlpha specifically.)

OK, thanks. Pity my manual and online help make no mention of VertexAlpha, the alpha parameter of VertexColor or flag 32 for EntityFX :( The online help on this site do so that's OK :)

I'm pretty sure I have the 1.83 docs, Rob. I'll check.
