I`m trying to make a series of cubes, all of which should be semi-transparent, here is a snipet of my code..



I have been playing about with the ghost settings, and I have also tried to use the set object transparency command, but I either get no objects displayed, all objects solid white, or it looks as if the objects are inside out..

I know it sounds like my GFX card cant handle it, but I have ghosted objects many times before, in DB classic, so I know the card ( creative Geforce 256 pro ) can handel ghosting..



Any suggestions ??

TIA,
simon

Try applying a texture to the object first. It might be that ghosting the object without a texture makes it appear invisible.

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

set object transparent o,1 is needed for ghosted objects sometimes otherwise they won't draw what's behind them properly.

Do you get the same problem with set alpha mapping on?

Theres no place like 127.0.0.1

ok, here is all of my code, so far, - all it does at the moment it make a grid, like a 3d matrix, and I want it to place a semi transparent cube, within each loaction in the grid, but all I get is the objects being white, no matter what colour I set, even with the ghosting / transparency rem`ed out

fallout, you were right...


thank very much!!!!

although, it worked for my code, to texture the object, I tried to write a basic snippet ( make object, position object, color object, ghost object ) and it ghosted fine, but for some reason it wont in the code I have posted, unless I texture.

strange, but thanks again
