That fence is using a shader.
Just set member("w3d_name").shader("fence").alphaSort = true
That's all.

cheers

Thank you your reply
I do it just like you say,the value of alphaSort is 0 to 1
But in the scene,there is nothing changed,why?

It means that you have other semi(transparent) textures in your scene.
Check them all.
A good idea is to use JPG for non-transparent textures and PNG or TGA for the semi-transparent ones.
