Alright, I edited a grid primaitive, textured, and exported. However, It can only be seen from one side. If you try to see It from the other side, It turns invisible...
How would I fix this? I did search for an answer.
Thanks for the help!

Re: How to make a Grid viewable from both sides.
You need to flag it for double sided transparency in the msh file:
[color=#FF8040]Inside Edit Flags[/color] wrote:Transparency ... options are found 5th place over from ATRB (after "B")
- Hex/Name
...
08 = Double sided transparency

But, If I do that, won't It be transparent on both sides? I want it (Non-transparent) On both sides.AceMastermind wrote:You need to flag it for double sided transparency in the msh file:

Listen to the expert(acemastermind, not me). Just test it out, you will see that the end result is what you want.Cerfon Rournes wrote:But, If I do that, won't It be transparent on both sides? I want it (Non-transparent) On both sides.

Re: How to make a Grid viewable from both sides.
if you give something doublesided tranparency it has to be rendered from both sides and that is what you want.
you should give it hardedged doublesided tranaparency (18) so that you dont get any of the displaybugy when seeing something transparent in front of them.

Re: How to make a Grid viewable from both sides.
The alpha channel in your image is what drives the transparency. The double sided flag in the msh disables backface culling and allows transparency to work, but an alpha channel is optional. You don't need any transparency for the double sided flag to work; even if you have no alpha channel in the image your polygons will still be double sided(rendered on both sides) if this is enabled in the msh.Cerfon Rournes wrote:But, If I do that, won't It be transparent on both sides?

If there is no alpha channel in the image assigned to the grid(or it isn't being used) then I don't think it matters which double sided flag is used.DarthD.U.C.K. wrote:...
