MTA:Eir/functions/isWorldDualAlphaRenderingEnabled

This function returns whether world dual alpha rendering is enabled. If enabled, first all opaque pixels of entities are rendered and then the alpha pixels, depending on whether they are closer to the screen or not. Otherwise the original rendering method is used which does not use two-pass depth layer rendering.

By enabling world dual alpha rendering, rendering artifacts related to alpha such as seeing through solid surfaces are avoided. By default, it is disabled.

Syntax

addEvent( "onClientReady", true );
addEventHandler( "onClientReady", root,
    function()
        if not ( isWorldDualAlphaRenderingEnabled() ) then
            outputChatBox( "This server may have alpha issues." );
        end
    end
);
