I want to make a wall drive through and add color to it and make it slightly transparent. What I do is something like this:
box
name box
position 100 0 0
rotation 0
size 5 30 50
drivethrough
color 0.75 0.75 0.75 0.75
end

Then when I go to test it I can drive half way then I just get stick and can't go all the way though it, is there something I'm doing wrong?

It is likely that you are colliding with another object. As a test, try with just the above object and see if you can drive through it properly. If that works, then it's another object you're hitting.

Alright, tried it with just that object and I can only go about half way through it before I stop, then it's the same problem as above.

There is a problem with the box and pyramid objects when they are drivethrough and have a material/textures/colors. Use meshboxes and meshpyramids instead. Or heck, just use meshes.

So it's a bug, ok. Time to learn something new

or do something like this:

material
name clear
diffuse .75 .75 .75
end

box
name box
position 100 0 0
rotation 0
size 5 30 50
matref clear
drivethrough
end

Ok, I copied and pasted exactly what Agent west did and I got stuck again around half way through. If it make any difference I run Windows Vista
