Hello all,
Can a prim be set to alpha at a certain height? In other words, can the show/hide feature be triggered by distance from ground?
Just curious?

You can read the height of the object, and you can set the alpha, so yes, you can. You just want to think well on which event to use for triggering the change, some methods suffer badly under lag, while others might cause a lot of lag themselves.
(to test the lag issue: get a Terrasport parachute, set it to open at 100 meters, and try jumping in a quiet sim and in a crowded sim, from various heights. In crowded sims you'll keep splatting even on the short jumps, while in a quiet sim you should still land safely from about 500 meters altitude)
