Make Players Green and Transparent fail

[yakahughes]

There's a snippet from the wiki page on [b][url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/?title=Render.SetBlend]Render.SetBlend [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img][/url][/b]:

[lua]function MakeMyPlayersGreenAndTransparent()
cam.Start3D( EyePos(), EyeAngles() )
for k, v in pairs( player.GetAll() ) do
if ValidEntity( v ) && util.IsValidModel( v:GetModel() or "" ) then
render.SuppressEngineLighting( true )
render.SetColorModulation( 0, 1, 0 )
render.SetBlend( 0.5 )
SetMaterialOverride( "debug/white" )

v:DrawModel()

render.SuppressEngineLighting( false )
render.SetColorModulation( 1, 1, 1 )
render.SetBlend( 1 )
SetMaterialOverride( 0 )
end
end
cam.End3D()
end
hook.Add( "RenderScreenspaceEffects", "GreenAndTrans", MakeMyPlayersGreenAndTransparent )
[/lua]
And I set the material to models/props_combine/stasisshield_sheet, it makes players green, but not transparent. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong?

render.SetBlend doesn't seem to work at all for me, even when everything else in a hook is working fine.

that example is spread around the wiki, some of them is wrong i think but some is fixed

Apparently, transparency seems to fail on players, or at least on yourself. You will never see yourself transparent, but other players should see it fine.
