Hey guys!

This is my first script and I thought I might make a script where the player is invisable. This is what I have so far. (The timegreater isnt propably mandatory). I just can't get my guy invisable. Dosen't work.



Any help would be appreciated.

The 'plrcannotbeseen' flag does not make the player invisible, it's a check to see if an entity can see the player.

Hm. Okay. That would explain it. Is there a way to make it so that the enemies do not see the player until an action is carried out?

I would ask in the Media board for that answer. It deals with retexturing the models. If you don't mind not having a smooth transition to camo, then just tell the models to use a black.bmp and set the transparent value to 2.

If you want some sort of distortion effect on the gun, then you'd need to alter the shader used as well. This would cause a problem, since you can't actively change the shader file using a script. THAT would need a source change in order to accomplish.

Lol, @pain

I know how you feel, if someone posted asking for a way to do something that I have in my contest entry that no one else has done before, then I'd probably post what you did.

It is possible to make something invisible with an effect. If you apply the gloss shader, it only works if the entity has transparency. As soon as it becomes transparent, the shader will start working (or at least in theory).

Yes so that the enemies will not see you. Like not respond to you. But if you don't have the invisability "power up", they react.

This would require some serious scripting power. I've made the enemies in my game "not react to the player" if the player turned the lights off on them and snuck around in the dark... would be the same concept.

I think your real problem here is how to make the person behind the screen not see the character they are using.

Once you can get that then you'll be free to script into the enemies to not react to the player when the player turns on the invisiblility.

The way I did it, is kinda going to remain a secret until the end of the PGPS compo.

That, is the true nature of a programmer. To look at another's work and create your own from it.

We programmers do not enjoy re-inventing the wheel.

Anyway, plrcannotbeseen is a condition, not an action.

So a Shepard said to his flock; "Thou shalt be confuseth!" and so they were.

Why did you bump this, it's been dead for 3-4 months, so the guy's probably moved on or forgotten it by now....
