I have a 2D game, I make a fog of war in it. I use a quad with a material with a transparency shader. And transparency works, but for some reason only objects with sorting layer = default are visible.

Objects have at least a sprite renderer.

Here is the shader

Shader "Custom/FogOfWarCG" { Properties { _MainTex ("Base (RGB)", 2D) = "white" {} } SubShader { Tags { "RenderType" = "Transparent" "Queue" = "Transparent" } Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha Cull Off LOD 200 Lighting off pass { CGPROGRAM #pragma vertex vert_img #pragma fragment frag #include "UnityCG.cginc" uniform sampler2D _MainTex; fixed4 frag(v2f_img i) : SV_Target { return tex2D(_MainTex, i.uv); } ENDCG } } FallBack "Diffuse" }

It is not clear why. Is it possible to selectively show other layers?

    In general, in order for the magic with transparency for 2d to disappear, you need to programmatically set the transparent layer for the sorting layer:

      MeshRenderer meshRenderer = GetComponent<MeshRenderer> (); meshRenderer.sortingLayerName = "FogOfWar"; meshRenderer.sortingOrder = 0;
