Hi Sharif, transparency is something that needs new functionality in the low levels of MoI's drawing engine. Scripts can't really add things like that, they can repackage and automate combinations of existing functions but without any transparency supported currently in the draw engine there isn't really any way for a script to do that.

I would like to work on adding transparency in the future, but it tends to be a difficult area to work with - transparency is not something that is really very directly supported by 3D video cards directly, it kind of has to be simulated by drawing things in a proper order and that adds quite a bit of overhead and performance loss. So it's something that has to be done pretty carefully, it's why I have not tried to do it as of yet.
