Just override the Asset you want with .. materials/models/hologram_fx/alyxgun_holosight_holo.vmat

Maybe this helps you and this is what you want ?

By override I assume you mean Override Material? In that case I did that and the asset is now invisible

My bad I didn't do a full compile. This works really well, but I'd like to see it further away. Is there a way to do that?

What do you mean by further away?
that you can see it from a further distance and it doesn't fade out?

Yep

I would have to try it out myself. What distances are we talking about? Do you have a screenshot or something?

It would be nice for the view distance to be as reasonably long as possible (though I understand if this is not possible). Here is a screenshot I took of the distances. I would like it at 128*10, but would at least like to get it working at 128*5.

I have not the Time to test it, but try to play with the Fadeout Distance in the Settings maybe ?

Why does it have to be visible over such a distance? A player won't even notice it because he only looks at what is happening around him

I figured it out. The material itself has a slider for fade-out distance, actually changing the value of the model in Hammer does nothing.

I did the following: decompiled the original texture using Source 2 viewer, saved the original to "Half-Life Alyx/content/hlvr/materials/hologram_fx/alyxgun_holosight_holo.vmat", opened it in Material Editor, made some changes, and saved it to my addon.

Thanks Schranzi! I couldn't figure this out without you!
