entities and texture alpha

hi i made a level in milkshape and i had a fence which used apha on the parts i did not want to show, but when i export it to any format which blitz supports the alpha does not hide the parts it did, how do you get it to work in blitz?

I think

entityalpha entity,.5;<this ranges from 0 to 1

also did you export to blitz as .b3d ? cause I never have any problem like that.

well i didn't quite mean alpha like that i mean like transperancy in sertain part of a texture on an entity.

You mean the masking of a texture? In that case you'd have to set the TextureFlag to "4". The areas you want to mask have to be pure black (RGB 0,0,0) btw.

or you can use an alpha map - that requries texture flag 2

I use the flags set to 15 like this:
Tex=LoadTexture( "Fence.bmp",15 )
And I get Alpha working just fine.

but what is the texture is alread on the model like when you make a level in milkshape and such then what do you do?

Use the TextureFilters command to automatically assign texture flags based on filenames. Or buy B3D Tweak and set texture flags directly in the b3d model.

thanks
