I have two trigger zones. One spawns a WWW2 soldier (FPSC standard stock); the other, one of Rolfy's Zombies.

When I trigger the zombie first, it appears somewhat transparent. It spawns, moves and can be shot -- but it's barely discernable.

However, if I trigger the WWW2 solder first and *then* enter the zone to trigger the zombie, the zombie appears normally and is not transparent.

Any ideas/suggestions as to what is going on?

That's a shader error. I had a similar one with bond1's zombies. Make sure you're not using appear2.fpi as the appear script.

Actually you must use appear2.fpi script instead of appear1.fpi.

Thanks for the replies. Indeed, I needed to use appear2.fpi (I was previously using appear.fpi). Still not sure why it works though -- I'll have to spend some time looking at the scripts to figure out what's going on behind the scenes. Again, thanks!

Appear2 spawns at 100 alpha as in instant, where as Appear1 spawns at 0 Alpha as in it fades in. Sometimes Appear1 never really fades in and your left with a model with 0 alpha.

heh... sorry, I meant ww2!

I find that if I spawn several enemies at the same time, I still sometimes get one or two that are transparent -- but it rarely occurs.

@Nbt: Thanks for the explanation.

@Arenas: How are you getting the zombies to spawn after death? Everything I have tried has led to failure.
