I haven't screwed around yet enough to know this simple question... What do I have to do for an effin transparent item in HL2!

I think what you need is the code below in the vmt file that accompanies the model's texture. `"VertexLitGeneric" { "$model" "1" "$basetexture" "your texture here..." "$surfaceprop" "metal" "$alphatest" "1" }` .vmt files are just text which accompany the texture sharing the same name and defining material effects. I think the actual textual definition (Where the transperancy is)of the transperancy is in the alpha channel. Edited by: J1mmmy

What do I have to do for an effin transparent item in HL2!

For the love of God, my tinkering has failed.

I think what you need is the code below in the vmt file that accompanies the model's texture.

&quot;VertexLitGeneric&quot;
{
&quot;$model&quot; &quot;1&quot;
&quot;$basetexture&quot; &quot;your texture here...&quot;
&quot;$surfaceprop&quot; &quot;metal&quot;
&quot;$alphatest&quot; &quot;1&quot;
}

.vmt files are just text which accompany the texture sharing the same name and defining material effects.

I think the actual textual definition (Where the transperancy is)of the transperancy is in the alpha channel.
