Fast Decloak?

needleman · 11-02-2003, 04:37 PM

I'm trying to make an infantry unit that can cloak and then decloak to shoot at stuff. I got him to cloak and stuff, be he decloaks so slowly that his target has already riddled him with bullets by the time he opens fire. Is there any way to get a unit to decloak really quickly?

CloakingStages= perhaps? Whatever it does, it will affect all cloaking units though.

CloakingSpeed=1

put that flag on the unit.

1=quick
9=slow

er.. I think its the other way around. I think the typhoon sub has a cloaking speed of 1 and its pretty slow.

Strangely, DZ guide says this:

CloakingSpeed=
Can be set to 'yes' or 'no' and specifies the speed at which the alpha effect for this object with Cloakable=yes set is applied. Should be set on a scale of 1 - 10 with higher numbers representing slower cloaking.

?

I am pretty sure that martyr is right but do trial and error like DZ suggested

Isn't cloakspeed for starting to cloak
And i think the default is 1 so that wouldn't affect it

ComradeJ · 11-04-2003, 10:04 AM

Wouldn't the two use the same speed? And why wouldn't the default work?

Daedalus · 11-04-2003, 10:09 AM

I just meant that if the default is 1 you can't make it cloak any faster
