I'm trying to implement an ECM/Stealth system based on cloaking devices that simply makes the ship untargetable but not invisible, based on this:


The problem is, I'm not seeing any references to the invisibility anywhere. Just what effect to use when cloaking and decloaking, nothing about the transparency. I've checked constants.ini and tested the cloaking ales on other things to see if they'll make them turn invisible, but nothing.

Does this need a hack or is there a value lying in an ini somewhere that I've overlooked?

I was thinking more about the offset that would define the transparency rather than adding seperate code for jammers, since the second option would probably be too time consuming.

Rather than creating a new thread, I'll bump my existing one. I'm looking at stealth systems once again, without invisibility. This time though I'm also looking to see if I can also enable firing when cloaked. Can either be done?

I dont know much about this, sorry, But i think that FLHook stops you from firing while cloaked.
The old method of cloaking devices, people could fire while cloaked but couldnt see the cloaking effect on their own ship. it was/is considered a form of cheating so i cant really explain how it was done

Sorry i cant help you anymore.

I'm not looking to deactivate or activate a cloak. What I'm interested in is making the cloak hide the ship from scanners but without making the ship invisible.
I also want it to be able to fire guns while in a "cloaked" state. FLHook doesn't control this, because I can't fire anything if I'm cloaked in singleplayer, so I'm assuming a hack would be needed for that.

did anything come of this, id be really interested in the use of an ECM based system for my mod.
