Been a while since I've done some modding, and it's showing. I'm working on a stealth weapon, and had two questions:

1. If I wanted the stealth to decrease when moving, but remain stable when standing still what values should I change?
2. Is it possible to change how the transparent "cloaked" model looks in-game?

Thanks.

1) That has to do with a parameter found in the unit's ODF. From the Bothan Spy's ODF:

Code: Select all

EnergyRestore           = 12.0      // energy regained per second if moving

Just adjust the value to your liking.

2) As far as I know, the model used will always be the main geometry, but it can look two different ways, as described here.

1) Thank you, solved the problem pretty well (spent all my time looking at the stock invisibility, never thought to look at the bothan's odf).

2) This could be done with a hex editor by the sounds of it, correct? Are there only two options, or all of the effects discussed in the thread possible?

Yeah, you can use a hex editor. And right, there are only two options for when in stealth mode: with ice refraction or without. All the other material settings will work with the model when in non-stealth mode, but from what I've seen so far, if you have any combination of any other material setting with ice refraction, ice refraction won't work. So in short, ice refraction only works when it is the only material setting.
