I havent seen any transluecent sprites, so Im assuming JK doesnt allow them. Why is it you can have a transluecent mat but not a sprite?

Ok, thanks. Then could that 3do be set to always face single player head on with a cog or something? Or maybe it would be a little slow in repositioning its orientation if you move quick.

Quite easy to do with cog actually: (The repositioning, not the Translucency)

Code:

symbols

thing       transsprite

int           player	                 local

message  startup               local
message  pulse                   local

end
code

startup:
    player=GetLocalPlayerThing();
    SetPulse(0.001);

return;

pulse:

     SetThingLook(transsprite, VectorSub(GetThingPos(transsprite), GetThingPos(player)));

return;

end

Actually I think sprites can be made translucent.

Below is an example SPR file:

Code:

#material   type  width  height  geo  light  tex  extralight  xoff  yoff  zoff
debrisx.mat 0     0.05   0.05    4    0      0    0.0         0.0   0.00  0.0

Now to make this sprite translucent change the type to 2. I'm 99.9% sure this will work.
