Display material only in editor

Is there a way to have a material only show in the editor and not ingame but in the editor make it have a certain transparency and texture? Maybe through a customized shader ?

It is supposed to be something like the no collision proxy material in the cryengine:

So here is the code that I eventually came up with:

@script ExecuteInEditMode()

function Start () {
	if(EditorApplication.isPlaying || Application.isPlaying){
		renderer.material.color.a = 0;
	}
	
	else return;
}

Just made a transparent material for the object and attached the script to it.
