Is it possible to see through prefab in one place with textures?

In my game i see my texture or prefab like this



But i need to see through that black place.



Can anybody help?

Thanks.

- Create a new level
- Add your prefab and centre it
- Texture it
- Save as new file (.wmp)
- Click Build button and click "Build Map Entity" then OK (.wmb)

- Open your level
- Add Map entity and select the wmb file you've built previously
- Assign an action to it.

action makeTransp
{
my.transparent = on;
my.alpha = 50; // play this value
}

Finished.

The black part needs to be really black.
Make sure the black part is 0,0,0 black (or a little bit more is also possible, i think) If the black is 15,15,15 the overlay flag won't work.
You can import it like said.
Then use this function:

action maketransparent
{
my.overlay = on; // the black part will be invisible
}

You can also just set the overlay flag on at object properties.

--------------------------

It is also possible (i don't know what you want to do with it) to import it as a sprite (just a flat drawing actually, if you want to use it horizon, for example) then go to object--> load entity.. and choose sprite file and load you tga.
then you can set the overlay flag on.

I hope this will help!

(if you do what vlau said, the entire texture will be 50% transparent)

I did the color (0, 0, 1), the darkest blue you can get and the darkest color you can get that isn't black, and the overlay flag didn't work. But then again, it could be that I was using 32-bit color instead.... 16-bit color has the values snap to multiples of 8 (4 for green) so you could actually go with (8, 4, 8).

Yes i have really black that place. On models it is working but not on prefab ill try Vlau suggestion!

I found your problem:

On prefabs the lucency(transparent also alpha or overlay) don't work. Only on models and sprites(skys?). So you have to make a sprite or a (sky?) with the color black(0,0,0) on this certain places.

Anything involving level geometry cannot be made transparent. You can build a map entity, however, but you can only have the entire object as one set level of transparency. For full control on transparency, use a model with a TGA skin where the TGA has alpha channel.
