This is my entity: ENTITY* fader_ent = { type = "fader.mdl"; layer = 90; alpha = 0; pan = 90; flags = TRANSLUCENT; flags2 = SHOW; view = camera; x = 250; y = 0; z = 0; } When i disable shaders everything work fine, i guess the problem is somewhere in the view stage, but i do not know how to solve this problem?

I never did this because I never used view entitys. (I actually don't even know when they could be useful) And I don't know anything about how the shaders in shade-c are linked together so I can't help you out with this. I'm sorry POTATO-MAN saves the day! - Random

I do not use Shade-C but that it should not be difficult to make. Here's an example: Code: your_entity1.client_id = last_view; your_entity2.client_id = last_view; your_entity3.client_id = last_view; ..... Just be sure you're using the last view in chain stages.
