%alphatexture is an internal material shader parameter available in 
Garry's Mod.
Used on static props when the prop is flagged for texture shadows and compiling VRAD with -textureshadows. The alpha channel of the specified VTF will be used instead of $basetexture, even if $alphatest and $translucent are absent.
Note:As this parameter is only used by VRAD, the VTF mentioned does not need to be shipped with the map if it is unused elsewhere.Todo: Implementing in custom VRAD; see GitHub commit which was used in gmod feature request.
