i cant change a entityalpha in a b3d file loaded but in other entity created by me yes

the problem is lightmapper tool, if i export b3d with this tool, cant change the alpha

as I can deactivate the lightmapper and set alpha in entity?

thanks

The problem is the lightmap. EntityAlpha only effects entities that use additive, or alpha blend modes. So the lightmap, which uses multiply mode, won't work.

What lightmapped tool did you use to create the entity? If you used Gile[s] you can change the lightmaps to use vertex colours which can be alpha blended (i think)
