I don't think it is possible without scripting but it is a mere two lines of code:

set(my,TRANSLUCENT); //make it see-thru to some degree
my.alpha = 50; //give it some alpha value, 0 being invisible, 100 being opaque.

Just stick these two lines in the action which is attached to the entity.

Note that if you want to do this to a level block, you must make it a map entity first, before you can make it transparent.
