Is it possible to set a model's transparency through DECORATE?

Is it possible to set a model's transparency through DECORATE?

Check for the RTCWCar on BoA: MaxED did something like that workarounding with Renderstyle + Stencilcolor...

Code: Select all

ACTOR RTCWCar : 3dObstacle
{
	//$Category Models (Wolf3D)
	//$Title Staff Car
	//$Color 3

	Radius 32
	Height 32
	States
	{
		Spawn:
			SMGT A -1 NoDelay A_SpawnItemEx("RTCWCarGlass", 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, SXF_TRANSFERPITCH | SXF_TRANSFERROLL | SXF_TRANSFERSCALE)
			Stop
	}
}

ACTOR RTCWCarGlass : ModelBase
{
	RenderStyle Shaded
	StencilColor "CC CC CC"
}

... where car windows become quite transparent. Maybe this is what you're searching...

No, not what I am looking for, it's more that I wanted to know if A_FadeIn or A_FadeOut works on models

I know you can set the alpha of an actor via ACS and it will affect the model. I assume it works from within Decorate as well, but haven't tested it.

Yea, alpha and render styles affect models. You can also get Additive models by using RenderStyle Add instead of making an alpha texture which will fail.
