How to fade alpha on GameObject using Standard Shader?

Question

How to simply fade a game object that has a Standard shader applied?

This is my code. If I switch the shader to Sprites.default it works.

public void foo(float val)
{
     _isFade=true;
     float time=2.0f;
     float alphaVal=0.0f;
     LeanTween.alpha(gameObject, alphaVal, time);

     Debug.Log("YES calling fade in foo !!!! and gameObject = "+gameObject);
}

Many shaders don't support transparency, so you'll need to make sure that you're using one that does. — rutter, Jun 24 '15 at 00:29

Make sure that you have the type of the Standard shader set as "Fade" or "Transparent" on your material.

works using Fade but now my objects seem transparent and they should be opaque. Z buffer issue? – Bachalo Jun 25 '15 at 11:29
If you want to "fade" the object, that means transparency isn't it? If you want the object to have like a Glass like look then use Transparent. If you slowly want to make the object dissapear or something like that use Fade. Refer to [this link](http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/StandardShaderMaterialParameters.html) and go under the Rendering Modes section for more info. – EvilTak Jun 25 '15 at 13:48
not sure you read my comment. I have a common problem with Fade causing Z buffer issues, ie objects aren't layered properly and appear transparent. Will post my solution tomorrow – Bachalo Jun 25 '15 at 21:24
