EntityAlpha:Void entity:Int32, alpha:Float32

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
entity	In	Int32	required	Entity handle.
alpha	In	Float32	required	Opacity from 0 to 1. Defaults to 1 on a new entity.

Description

Sets how see-through an entity is: 1 is solid, 0 is invisible and values in between let what is behind show through. An entity with alpha 0 is not drawn at all but still takes part in collisions, unlike HideEntity. See-through entities are drawn after the solid ones.
