Okay a couple of simple questions: how do you put the stealth ability on a structure? Can you change the area affected by the cloak generator tab so it only affects a certain building? If you could just point me in the direction, I don't like getting the answers unlike noobs; I have passed those days in my moding. :lol:

What I have done so far.

I tested the cloakable=yes and it didn't seem to work. So I put the tag to make it a cloak generator and it worked, but it cloaked the fellow buildings that were around it. I have checked up in the sections at the top that apply to general settings, and I found a tag that dealt with the cloak generator. I didn't have time to test it, I had to go to work which is were I am now (tech support is sometimes boring), forgot what that tag was called but could it be what I'm looking for?? :scared:

*edited the name of post, other part of problem solved.

In case anyone is wondering I am making "new side" (yuri country but different name) that has its main bases under the ocean. I have the building setup as naval and underwater with all the art images and the only things that can attack it are anti sub warfare weapons, but you can see it. Its similar to a submarine that has been spotted but not came to the surface yet. So since the sub has a cloak=yes, I believe the structure needs a cloaking option as well.

CloakRadiusInCells=12

note that the cloaking sound is used by subs and there is horrible lag due to large shp structures and doublethick=true in the art.ini

Also walls (overlays) are not cloaked, hence its pointless for an AI unless you remove all the ProtectWithWall tags or whatever its called.

what does doublethick actually do?

[DCoder]

It forces the game to double the transparency effect on buildings. Because certain buildings' active anims overlap the building image itself, it wouldn't look correct to have only the anim transparented, and the building underneath still active. Look at the NANRCT art.

Its lazy artwork mainly, it would be possible to fix by making large edits to a lot of structures, but there is a lot of time involved in that too.

I have the solution, it was in the cloak generator cells tag. Thanks for the info on the walls not cloaking though. I'm sure there was something else though, ... ... ... oh yeah, I found a tag that said cloaking stages=9? What is this, I am going to look through deezires tutorials here in a sec, but thought I'd ask incase it isn't there.

*It was, ignore this post. Thanx for all the help, past and in the future.
