I want to apply a transparent texture to an emssion node in a way that the the emission node will emit just from the not transparent parts of the image texture. How to achieve this effect ?
Here' s a Picture of it

Are you going for something like this?
If so, then it's as simple as someonewithpc said, just an Emission shader mixed with a Transparent shader using the texture for the Fac.

$\begingroup$ hey, i am using this setup but I want to animate the map. Not simply control the total transparency of the texture but rather for example have a spherical alpha ring / wave effect on the texture. Would anybody know how to do that? Technically masking the texture that goes into the factor node for the mix? $\endgroup$– Avion32Commented Oct 5, 2020 at 21:11
