Hey....I''ve got a couple of question to pose to ya''ll and no doubt someone out there has been through this shite already. 1) I''ve added a texture onto a poly and would like to control the level of transparency of the texture for all 255 levels of alpha. What''s the best way to do this? 2) I''m trying to set the colorkey value of the texture surface by calling the SetColorKey method. However, I''m having a little trouble understanding how the DDCOLORKEY parameter works. Specifically what is the significance of the dwColorSpaceLowValue and dwColorSpaceHighValue.

1) Change the alpha component of the diffuse material to the level of transparency you want (0-full transparent, 1-opaque).

2)The low and high space values define the range of transparent colors. If you want black to be transparent then just set them both to 0.

*** Triality ***

1) I set the diffuse ambient level but that did nothing, I think I also have to set a texture stage state for that as well no?

2) It seems to only filter out black (both values set to 0) anything else just doens''t work. I guess some hardware only supports colorkeying color 0?
