but i would have to make a map maker any way to put the windows and models together so deled should have the ability to make objects semi-tranparent.

because if deled don't have this ability it means that deled is not a full map maker

Granada is right, the transparency is controlled by the 3D engine you are using. No matter which modelling app you use, you will still have to specifiy the transparency or alpha value of the window texture. Even if DeleD did allow you to apply transparent textures, you would have to program them into your app. If you are using DarkBasic, look into how you can set the alpha value of materials and textures. To say that DeleD is not a complete map maker because it does not allow you to define transparency is a little harsh. Especially since transaparency is handled very differently depending on the engine you are using.

i did not mean to be harsh but i'm just new to all this i'm only 16 years old .
in a way deled is a prefab maker i will have to make a small engine of darkbasic.
not a great prob but i have not learned alot so i will have to hit the books soon.

thanks for the info
i got a lot to learn

but it shouldn't be toooo hard to implement another attribute in the object panel, should it?
i mean DeleD doesn't have to draw thia alpha-blending, but it can save a value between 0 and 1, which must be changed in the object inspector.

I thought that was what the tag property in the object inspector was for - for user defined attributes.

Actually I think there is no other way to do it because otherwise this tag must be supported by the export format.

[EDIT] Can't someone post an example how this can be done in DarkBasic? I am a Blitz user and I do these things by parsing the .b3d files on load.

i think the transparent part could be saved/load by a special plugin. this is the solutíon.
