5. Select "Behind map" radio
6. Select your transparant color
7. Move transparant bar to the left

When I do that, I can't go in to it. And When I almost touch it, I respawn.

nvm the first reply. The second one, well, I can't see my player, the scenry block it, in CTF_Swasi, you can
still see your player (bot). Just try to understand me.

okok, see the water (kind of, want it to be water) part? I want it to be transparnt, so when player enter, you can see them. That is what I want.

Set the scenery transparency to lower value, its on the scenery tab, below "scale width", "height".

1. Set scenery transparency value somewhere in the middle.
2. Set scenery level (on the bottom of the scenery tab) to "2 - in front of everything".
3. Now put a scenery on the map.

next time you have a problem, try messing around with the mapmaker somemore, experimenting with cause and effect. that way, when you come accross a problem, you might be better able to fix it, and save a weeeeee bit of embarrassment (like anyone here really matters)
