              Additive particle shader with higher max alpha?
Hi, I'm trying to find a shader to use with laser light, in other words unlit, transparent and colorable. The particle/additive shader (pasted below) seems to work fine, except for one thing: There seems to be a max alpha value and it won't go higher than that, so if I try to make a fully opaque object it still ends up as partially transparent. I'd like the alpha value to correspond fully to the set alpha value (via GL.Color), or at least increase the default max alpha value. Can someone modify the shader to do this? Or direct me to a different shader that does what I want?
     Shader "Particles/Additive" {
     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
     }
