Minimap camera transparency
Hello.
I followed this tutorial on how to make a minimap using a camera that's pointing to the terrain:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuV9Xlt-l6g
What I'm trying to figure out right now though, is how to make my map a little transparent.
The tutorial gives me a shader to use on my material, otherwise i'd just use a transparent one and go with that... but now that I have this shader, how do I make it so the map is transparent?
Shader code:
Shader "Custom/Mask"
{
Properties
{
_MainTex ("Main Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
_Mask ("Mask Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
}
SubShader
{
Tags { "Queue"="Transparent" }
Lighting On
ZWrite Off
Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
Pass
{
SetTexture [_Mask] {combine texture}
SetTexture [_MainTex] {combine texture, previous}
}
}
}
Meanwhile I'm trying to figure out shaders... thanks.

Hi, You can use the KGFMapSystem in combination with a 50% alpha mask.
The KGFMapSystem comes with a lot of useful minimap/map features is well documented and tested on pc, osx, android, ios and web.
