How to adjust level of transparency for a 3D object?

We can use SetObjectTransparency( objID, mode ) to set transparency on/off, but how to change how transparent an object looks?

I think the best way is just to colour the object pure white but with the alpha channel set to what you need.... like SetObjectColor(obj,255,255,255,alpha) - not sure what the exact command is to colour an object.

Thanks.

But it seems that SetObjectColor() alone does not make an object transparent.
The object does look transparent if I called both SetObjectColor() and SetObjectTransparency()

That is, If my eyes does not deceive me.

Yeah, makes sense that it's default to opaque, layers of alpha transparency can cause slowdown.
