Would someone be able to make an item, so that when you pick it up, you become camouflaged
for a certain amount of time? When I say "active camouflage" I mean like the kind you see in multiplayer on the Halo games.

And no, I don't want to hear anything like "OMFG halo nub gtfo" or "halo doesn't go in this game, n00b"

I'm saying that we use a similar idea that was used in those games.

Explanation:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_camouflage

Here's a picture showing what it could look like in the game:

(Also, this topic is a completely different idea from RayneX's suggestion. His is to go completely invisible, so don't give me a link to the search page...)

The predator/transparent/refraction thing isn't going to happen.

You could do a raycast/radius search for nearby bricks and set your player's nodes to be the same color. That could be cool. Especially if it was good enough to make the different parts different colors depending on how close they were to each brick. Like if your head was near a blue brick your head would turn blue when you triggered the active camo. Tricky, but do-able.

Note: I am not going to make this.

That could work, if you walk into the radius of the set bricks, which would be red for example, and your whole avatar turns red with it. Unfortunately, I'm no good at scripting.

there is a knife add on i cant think of the name right now but if you wield it and right click you can turn invisible mostly

Roland · July 06, 2008, 06:33:58 PM

I was thinking of something like this but you'll be invisible like the /cloakme command but you type /cloak and you'll be invisible for 30 seconds (or something like that) and if your the team member of a TDM type /cloakteam and your whole team will be invisible for 30 seconds, but you can only do this each minute, like a time penalty so NOOBS don't keep using it over and over. I know this wont be made but it was what i was thinking of a cloak/invisible thing.

No not only does that cloak sucks but the knife can kill anyone even when your not in a mini

Falcondude · July 06, 2008, 08:30:00 PM

Oh hello unnoticed bump.

Yeah this'd be pretty cool to see.

Kunit · July 06, 2008, 08:38:30 PM

Wouldn't be that hard just set all the node's to "0 0 0 0" for how ever long you want with a schedule, when I do I usually get a weird camouflage look but anyway I tried this before and it worked pretty well but if your energy bar reached 0 or you jumped it would disable even though I didn't add a code to do that. Also that was the biggest bump I have ever seen.

Damn it i can't beleive i didn't notice him bump a year old topic

loving idiot.

Cant you just paint yourself a transparent color? That'd be close enough, in a dark room, as long as you didn't move, and prayed alot....

Beachbum790 · July 07, 2008, 07:59:24 PM

Foolysfuncmds comes with a /cloak

Lord Tony · July 07, 2008, 08:12:39 PM

Foolysfuncmds has to many bugs I would not reccomend using it.

Kunit · July 07, 2008, 08:15:31 PM

And it isn't what he is looking for. He is looking for a "Item" not a cmd to cloak him/herself

Falcondude · July 07, 2008, 08:16:29 PM

It's simple to combine the two.
