Transparent Blade

[scorcher9910]

For Ike and Marth, how do you make their blades transparent?
I went to the corresponding material (which is Blade for Ike, right?) and changed "Type" to 3.
It froze the game.  :srs:

You could scale the blade to an obscenely small value through animations, maybe...

Or vertex it.

I actually got it to work now.
BUT
I have another question. Is the sword glow/trail thing removable? Probably by PSA?

Also, for textures that don't support transparency, is vertexing the only way to get rid of the area? And by that I am referring to Marth's skirt tunic bottom.

Yup, I assume that its an external GFX.  You can remove it by finding all attacks that use it and removing the gfx, or wait a little until its possible to make the trail transparent through texture editing
