How to write a shader for a transparent object in Unity3d so that objects behind it also become invisible in the camera?

Question

Shaders

Can you please tell me how to write a shader for a transparent object in Unity3d, so that objects behind it also become invisible in the camera?

Answer 1

you need to specify the following in the pass:
ZWrite On
ColorMask 0
and in the tags of the pass:
"Queue" = "Geometry-1"
This will disable writing to the color buffer (the object will become invisible), but will fill the depth buffer to clip the geometry.

Answer 2

You can't write such a shader. This should be done with renderer.enabled = false;
