Halo-ish Cloaking

[Thorax]

Before you skip over the topic and start yelling at me about why we should have Halo in Blockland, read this: THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HALO!

Now, I have a great idea for a player-type which shouldn't be too hard to make, but I need the player to be cloaked. Now, I know you can already cloak the player to be totally invisible, but that would ruin my plans for the player-type. So I would like to know how I would make a Halo/Predator type cloaking (Kind of a clear, distorted cloak).

Here a couple pictures that somewhat show what I want

Can be possible.

[Thorax]

But how?

[infomaniac]

Nodes look bad transd

[Thorax]

Really? :(

I remember in .0002 you could cloak and it would have the same effect as this. Oh, sorry for the lack of halo pictures, it's too hard to find one. All I could find are Predator ones.

[Crysist]

What about the 'CloakMe' thing for FFC?

[Blockoman]

That makes you completely invisible. He wants a distorted outline.

[zackin5]

You can make the player totally invisible then mount a emitter on them to get the a distorted air effect or something


Also I don't remember cloaking in halo other then a power up, Thread title might be better as Predator or Crysis cloaking

That might work... Anyone know how to do this?

[zackin5]

Something like this

function whatevertogglesit
%player.MountImage(emitter, 0);
%player.hidenodes(?);

It's been awhile so I forgot the commands

You'll also want to make a function for when it's disabled to un-hide the nodes and unmount the emitter

[Thorax]

Ok thanks. Time to do some research. Also, it's going to be a playertype if that helps with explainations.

In halo 2 you could cloak at will as the arbiter

Thank you very much. I could not find a halo picture.

%player.hidenodes(ALL);
I think that would work, maybe you could add an emitter with a base shape of the player dts and make an almost completely transparent particle for it.
