This snippet allows you to switch between rendering modes using the F3 key.

local renderModeSwitch =
{
    original = "meshlocal_alphafix",
    meshlocal_alphafix = "scene_alphafix",
    scene_alphafix = "original"
};

addEventHandler( "onClientRender", root,
    function()
        local screenWidth, screenHeight = guiGetScreenSize();
        
        local currentMode = engineGetWorldRenderMode();
    
        dxDrawText( "Current RenderMode: " .. currentMode, screenWidth - 300, 5 );
    end
);

addEventHandler( "onClientKey", root,
    function( key, state )
        if ( key == "F3" ) and ( state == true ) then
            engineSetWorldRenderMode( renderModeSwitch[ engineGetWorldRenderMode() ] );
        end
    end
