All right 'yall: here's a tricky problem.

We are trying to code some simple smoke trails, but our smoke image is not working. It is clipping the other particles, and even obscuring our cannon models. We have tried png's and even some with black backgrounds for ease of alphamapping, but to no avail.



Please help!

There is a 'disable object zwrite' in dark basic, I think there is the same thing in DGsdk.

I had the exact same problem, but using this command, it now works great.

The command is dbDisableObjectZWrite(int id)

The documentation is wrong.

Disabling z read would make the particles draw on top of everything (assuming you rendered them last). Z write will just make them 'invisible' in the zbuffer.
