can't get the normals right/transparent model issue

[Mandalorian]

I am having trouble getting some parts of the model solid ingame, the faces are inside out. I can't seem to flip them properly.Heres the blend file maybe some one can poke around and fix this?https://www.dropbox.com/s/idrpnz9ukeyzp0x/ee-32.blend?dl=0

What parts are you talking about? It appears quite correct to me. You can check by enabling Backface Culling in the Shading settings and enabling face normals in the Mesh Display settings when in editing mode.

Thanks for checking, I'll try that mesh setting, I've already tried backface culling as an option. It appears fine until ingame.

@@Mandalorian, are you using a shader for the model? If not you should, if you do, try adding "cull none" or "cull disable".

cull side

Every surface of a polygon has two sides, a front and a back. Typically, we only see the front or "out" side. For example, a solid block you only show the front side. In many applications we see both. For example, in water, you can see both front and a back. The same is true for things like grates and screens.

To "cull" means to remove. The value parameter determines the type of face culling to apply. The default value is cull back if this keyword is not specified. However for items that should be inverted then the value front should be used. To disable culling, the value disable or none should be used. Only one cull instruction can be set for the shader.

front : The front or "outside" of the polygon is not drawn in the world. It is used if the keyword "cull" appears in the content instructions without a side value.

back : Cull back removes the back or "inside" of a polygon from being drawn in the world.

disable or none : Neither side of the polygon is removed. Both sides are drawn in the game. Very useful for making panels or barriers that have no depth, such as grates, screens, metal wire fences and so on and for liquid volumes that the player can see from within. Also used for energy fields, sprites, and weapon effects (e.g. plasma).

Design Notes
For things like grates and screens, put the texture with the cull none property on one face only. On the other faces, use a non-drawing texture.

that's a great idea ill add that to my shader and try it out.

That's fixed now. I removed the shader and started again. I didn't even thiink it could be a shader issue so thanks a lot to all who helped.
