Weird 3D Sprite transparency issue, looking for a work-around

Before proceeding, please know I searched to make sure nobody had the same problem as me. I believe I have a unique issue. (idk how to get rid of this box so I just edited it haha

How do I…

I’m making a 3D multiplayer FPS game about pirates. I made this dockyard-like test stage, and noticed a weird bug with the transparency on the short spiky grass texture. Both the short-grass and my player character texture are 3D cube objects.
Any transparency within the front-most short-grass box seems to “cut” the entire short-grass texture behind it, as well as the texture of the character, revealing the non-transparent stage textures behind them.

This is the part of the scene the issue is visible in. In this first screenshot, everything looks fine, minus a lip of missing texture at the corner of the grass box.

…Now take a look at the character and the behind layer of the short-grass. Both seem to disappear behind the transparency of the front layer of short-grass.

Intended result: the opposite of that

I know I could probably minimize the problem by making the box with the short-grass texture shorter… but other parts of my game will use transparent textures. For example, rope-ladders and windows. So I’d like to fix the problem outright, or come up with some sort of work-around. I read somewhere you can “hard-code the pixi renderer”, which I have NO idea how to do, and don’t even know if it would fix the problem I have.

if anyone knows a solution, or has suggestions I could try, please do share because it’d be a huge help. Thank you for reading!

I have the same issue and have made a thread about it that got some eyes on it. I’d suggest taking a look at that one. There might be an answer up there that the Japanese user wrote recently.

OH SHOOT I thought for sure I had an issue nobody was talking about, my bad! Ill keep my eye on that thread :0

I’m boutta delete this cause someone edited the post to add “sprite” but its not even accurate cause I didn’t use sprites? not to mention they spelled it wrong? NOT TO MENTION I can’t remove the word myself even though its my OWN post…?
