Author Topic: Hiding a node through a client script?  (Read 1811 times)

Well, Im kinda new to torqueScript, so could someone help me create a client-sided addon (One that works on every server)? I need some helps. You know, one that will hide a node through a script?

1. Most (if not all) scripters know that client sided means it works on every server.
2. I'm not sure you can hide a node client sided.

impossible unless you mess with the engine.

And if you did it would involve severe amounts of tampering and probably end up the game being corrupt.

Im sure theres a way to hide others nodes and your nodes on the client side if you tamper with it enough. Theres probably no way to make it happen for everyone though because its only affecting your client.

And it would eventually cause bugs if the add-ons that were executing at the server required a certain node. The system would become corrupt.

$Pref::Avatar::HeadColor = "0 0 0 0";

Type that in before you join a server. When you spawn, your head should be transparent. Not quite what you want, but that's about as much as you can do.

If you need to find the other avatar variables, look in config/client/prefs.cs.

Thx. I wanted to do this so I could cheat on the Boss Battles server.

the boss wont know what hit him /spy

This is for your client only, which means you can't see your head but everyone else can.

By it's very nature, anything that is only client-sided will not appear to anyone else. If you made yourself invisible with a client mod, everyone except you could see you as if you hadn't done anything. Great if you want to make fancy screenshot poses, though useless for just about anything else.

If you want to be invisible to everybody, you have to get the server to make you invisible, which might be impossible if the host doesn't want you invisible. Fully transparent avatar colours might work, IF the server accepts them. Also, IF the admin(s) of the server accept them, once they find out that you have them.

I'm pretty sure that the server does accept "0 0 0 0" as an avatar color, so that might actually work. There'd still be a slight outline of your body, but that's about it.

I tried it, it didn't work

It won't accept any transparent colors for things that aren't allowed to be transparent.

That's just sad.

Do realize it's Client side, not server.
