semi transparent water

[pera]

i know how to make water scene node, but i would like it to be semi transparent.
if i do like this, I lose reflection effect:

ISceneNode* node = m_EditorManager->getSceneMngr()->addWaterSurfaceSceneNode(mesh->getMesh(0), 0.5f, 400.0f, 10.0f, 0, m_EditorManager->m_ID);
node->setMaterialTexture(0, m_EditorManager->getDriver()->getTexture("media/stones.jpg"));
node->setMaterialTexture(1, m_EditorManager->getDriver()->getTexture("media/water.jpg"));
node->setMaterialType(video::EMT_REFLECTION_2_LAYER);
node->setMaterialType(EMT_TRANSPARENT_ADD_COLOR);
node->setName("Water Surface");

also, how to set transparency level?

You cannot set two material types 'on top' of each other. If you need a different effect, you either have to create multiple meshes or define your own material, which needs low-level implementations, though.

and how to set transparency level?

and don't you think its good idea to have transparent water surface?

If you need more complex things than the base materials provide, you should use a shader.
