Having problems with Shader clipping

So I made a shader for a project I'm working on.
The shader is supposed to have a dissolving effect, where it uses clip() with a noise texture.
This works perfectly, like shown here


But where my problem is, is that the project uses ambient occlusion. And with ambient occlusion, it creates a problem when the material is "fully dissolved". The game object doesn't become completely transparent and sort of removes shadows when viewed through the material


Is there a way to still make the shader fully transparent with ambient occlusion, or is that impossible?

 

I had a similar issue and solved it by changing the render queue from "From Shader" to "Transparent" in the material the shader is applied to.

You can also change it directly in the shader, and keep it to "From shader" in the material.

 

Unfortunately that didn't seem to fix the problem

 

If you have the same problem when using shadows, it might be the (default) shadow pass. Is this a surface shader? If so, add addshadow to the #pragma surface surf Standard fullforwardshadows line.

 

I already had. But that didn't change anything sadly

 

The problem is SSAO sometimes uses the camera normals texture. For deferred rendering that'll pull directly from the gbuffers and be perfect. But for forward rendering Unity uses a replacement shader pass, so you'd need to set the RenderType tag on your shader to something unique, then make a copy of the Internal-DepthNormalsTexture.shader and add a new pass that does the same cutout as your shader, and set that new shader to be what Unity uses in the Graphics settings.
