Masking shader with alpha Color
Hi !
I'm working on a basic masking shader (texture image + texture mask) that allow one to have any images masked by a texture where all white part are shown and all transparent part are transparent. This works really great but does not support alpha. Indeed I would like to add fadeIn and FadeOut operation to my object with the masking shader. Thus I end up with this :
 Shader "Custom/Masking" {
     Properties
     {
       _Color ("Main Color", Color) = (1, 1, 1, 1)
       _MainTex ("Base (RGBA)", 2D) = "white" {}
       _Mask ("Culling Mask", 2D) = "white" {}
       _Cutoff ("Alpha cutoff", Range (0,1)) = 0.1
      }
      
     SubShader {
         Tags { "Queue"="Transparent" "IgnoreProjector"="True" "RenderType"="Transparent"}
         LOD 200
         
         Lighting Off
         ZWrite Off
         Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
         AlphaTest GEqual [_Cutoff]
         
         
         Pass {
           SetTexture [_Mask] {combine texture}
           SetTexture [_MainTex] {
               combine texture, previous * constant ConstantColor[_Color]
           }
           
         }
     } 
 }
 
It is borrowed from the wiki + constantColor is aded to handle alpha ! I works, but, all the texture under this one does not show up. For instance, I have a glow quad behind my masking shader plan. This glow plan appear fine until I add the alpha to the shader plan.
Any help would be appreciate.
Thanks !
P.S : here is the second glow shader :
 Shader "Glow" {
 Properties {
     _TintColor ("Tint Color", Color) = (0.5,0.5,0.5,0.5)
     _MainTex ("Particle Texture", 2D) = "white" {}
     _InvFade ("Soft Particles Factor", Range(0.01,3.0)) = 1.0
     _GlowTex ("Glow", 2D) = "" {}
     _GlowColor ("Glow Color", Color)  = (1,1,1,1)
     _GlowStrength ("Glow Strength", Float) = 1.0
 }
