Question by TheNoobieWaffle · Apr 10, 2016 at 04:58 PM · shader programming

Shader Transparency Float Parameter

So, I got this shader from... God knows where so many months ago. It's been so long. But, the thing is it renders very transparent. It gets washed out by its background behind it. Does anyone know enough about shaders to add a float clamped from 0 to 1, or 0 to 255 that controls transparency? I know how to program in C#, however, I do not know how all this programming for the graphics card works.

Thanks! -Michael
