custom rendering

In the manual it says to return 1 from the material event to prevent the entity from being rendered. I have set ENABLE_RENDER and have a dummy technique just like in the manual (http://manual.conitec.net/prog_faq.htm).

Why does the entity still render itself?! I have tested it in C++ and LiteC. In C++ I tried as 1 and 1024 (_VAR(1)).

I've tried it and returning _VAR(1) still suppresses the rendering by the engine. Maybe you've also set another material event besides ENABLE_RENDER?

I does not work in 7.50

I tried in 7.10 and it worked. I tried again in 7.50 and it doesn't work. Must be a bug.

We have indeed changed that part of the code in 7.50. But it works here and when I look into the code, I see nothing suspicious. So I need an example where it does not work - can you upload the project or send it to Support?

I have just copied the code from the manual and tested it in a C++ app and in LiteC with some entities created with ent_create.

In 7.10 it works, the event is called and when I return 1 the mesh is not rendered by the engine. In 7.50 the event is called and dispite returning 1 the mesh is still rendered by the engine.

I have also noticed that models with no texture (even if it was assigned a material effect in MED) will not render. This didn't happen in 7.10.

I have the same problem with ENABLE_RENDER.

I think I found the problem now. This will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks.
