Using this with a simple $alpha transition of 0 to 1 (Transparent to Opaque) - seems that dynamic models are not "fading" as world geometry does. Any suggestions? --[[User:RTF|RTF]] 03:09, 30 November 2011 (PST)
:Edit: Seems to be doing this with any dynamic entity or brush, I.E. func_brush, prop_dynamic, func_door etc.

Added an important detail to getting this to work in the description. --[[User:Gir|Gir]] 01:40, 16 Feb 2007 (PST)

Ooh, didn't know I could use this on models.  I'm going to guess "no" but it won't hurt to ask: does it work on env_screenoverlay?  Because that would be awesome if it did.  --[[User:4-Legged Tumor|4LT]] 10:56, 19 Aug 2008 (PDT)

:It should if you can get the material proxy in the overlay. And someone how to tie it to that. --[[User:Frostbite|JakeB]] 17:11, 19 Aug 2008 (PDT)

:I played around with it, and it seems to work.  You have to use material proxy on a brush (or maybe model) that has the material, then apply the same material as a screen overlay.  The thing is, using material_modify_control does not work while the overlay is enabled, you have to use it ''before'' enabling the screen overlay.  --[[User:4-Legged Tumor|4LT]] 09:37, 22 Aug 2008 (PDT)


Don't works on shader water with parameter "$fogenable" et "$fogcolor". Help pls. --[[User:Anarkia777|Anarkia777]] 21:37, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
Edit : Oh ok I thing it's because I forget transform my block water to entity, but water shader don't works on block entity, how I can do ?. --[[User:Anarkia777|Anarkia777]] 22:09, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

You cannot use material_modify_control on water. --[[User:Omnicoder|Omnicoder]] 00:00, 28 July 2010 (UTC)


Bug in StartFloatLerp,  Fractional values for <Start Value> <End Value> are truncated to 0, or at least in l4d2. One work-around for this is to scale your values to integers and then use a Divide proxy. Does anyone know how "expense" that adds to a material? --[[User:Shotgunefx|Shotgunefx]] 18:10, 19 August 2011 (PDT)



Possible bug/limitation: game could crash if you try to modify 2 textures with 2 separate material controls on a single model. -MrKleiner 13-05-2021
