Is there any way to make a shader that double sides polygons work with transparency? If I try it on the shaders I have now it looks aweful because you can see the inside polygons.

I tried this work around, since the parts that are double sided are not in view when the camera is up close. When the camera is close I turn the material off and transparency on, just while the camera is in close range:

Code:

---

	if(actual_dist_from_player > 0 && actual_dist_from_player < 100)

	{

		my.material = null;

		my.transparent = on;

		my.transparent = actual_dist_from_player;

	}else

	{ if (my.material==null)

	{

		my.transparent=off;

		my.material = mtl_doublesided;

	}

	

	}  

---

However this causes the engine to crash (not just an error, the whole window folds).

EDIT> That should have been my.alpha = actual_dist_from_player, but anyway, it is setting the material to null that causes the crash.

Setting my.material = null is bad... very bad. Set it to one of the defaults, like mat_model, etc.

Thank you qwerty.
