TROUBLE: stealth

[Twilikari]

We've managed to get the stealth to work clientside, but only the player using it is invisible... to themselves...
Any ideas how to get it to work? And maybe so that you yourself see a faded version of yourself?

[fowlplay4]

Use a gani, set the player's alpha to 0 in the gani's script OR just make a blank gani and replace their walk, idle, etc. ganis with it.

And set the alpha to some value between 0 and 1 if you want it to be faded.

I didn't consider a GANI :o
but how would you make it so that the person stealthed could se themselves as about .5 alpha?

Use player.alpha = 0.5; in a clientside weapon that only they have.

You can also just use hideplayer(time).

I would recommend against that. hideplayer() seems to be highly unreliable and doesn't hide people on other peoples screens half the time.

Indeed. I haven't been able to get it to work at all recently.

Progress so far:
-I've got it too where there are no error messages in RC when I save it
- see the .5 on my screen
-There are no visible effects to other players, so no stealth
-I just realized I would also want to hide the nickname too...

Anymore tips?

Hire a scripter.

It's not for a server, so much as self gain.

PHP Code:

findplayer("Graal753442").addweapon(this.name);
function onActionServerside() {
  if (this.active=false) {
    player.alpha=1;
  }
  else {
    player.alpha=0;
  }
}      
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
this.active=false;
}
function onWeaponfired() {
  this.active = !this.active;
  triggerserver;  
    if (this.active=false) {
      player.alpha=1;
    } 
    else{
      player.alpha=.5;
  }
} 


PHP Code:

findplayer("Graal753442").addweapon(this.name);
function onActionServerside(this.active) {
  if (this.active=false) {
    player.alpha=1;
  }
  else {
    player.alpha=0;
  }
}      
//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated(){
this.active=false;
}
function onWeaponfired() {
  this.active = !this.active;
  triggerserver(0,0,"serverside",this.name);  
    if (this.active=false) {
      player.alpha=1;
    } 
    else{
      player.alpha=.5;
  }
} 


These are twon versions. any tips/fixes?

This is what I did for Classic iPhone stealth (removed some other parts to provide this),

Weapon: -Staff/Stealth

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  player.attr[22] = "unstealth.gani";
}

function ChatBar.onAction() {
  if (ChatBar.text == "/stealth") {
    toggleStealth();
    ChatBar.text = "";
  }
}

function toggleStealth() {
  this.stealth = !this.stealth;
  if (this.stealth)
    player.attr[22] = "stealth.gani";
  else
    player.attr[22] = "unstealth.gani";
} 


in the gani,

PHP Code:

function onPlayerEnters() {
  if (clientr.isStaff)
    player.alpha = 0.4;
  else
    player.alpha = 0;
} 


So, all staff can see the stealthed person at half alpha while no-one else can see them.

that's exactly what i was looking for :o
Would it ne nad if i used this? I still wanna re-write it, but now the server I'm on wants a script ._.

[callimuc]

here i found this script:

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onPlayerChats() {
  if (player.chat == "/stealth") {
    if (player.alpha == 1)
      triggerserver("gui",this.name,"SetStealth",0);
    else
      triggerserver("gui",this.name,"SetStealth",1);
  }
} 


but for some reason player can still see your name. i also tried like:

PHP Code:

    if (player.alpha == 1)

player.alpha does not affect the player's name. My recommendation would be to set the player's name to "" on serverside, or use hidePlayer.
