Not much point to it, but I don't think it's been done before (haven't seen it and didn't turn up in a search). Disclaimers: Does not double wield well. Only works when facing right. Does not make jetpack glows invisible. Find it under shields. Lack of pic:

I vaguely remember something similar to this. It's caused by an engine bug and causes crashes or something. which is why it only works in one direction. also the AI sees right through it. |

Yeah, it's just a bug, but I don't remember anyone using it on purpose, so... there it is.  And, I dunno, it might work on dropships or something that can only face one way... just getting the idea out there.

If it weren't for attachables colliding the same way an actor's core does, real invisibility would be possible. |

Hmm... Let me see... It's a shield roughly the size of an actor with an off-pallete sprite, which causes the game engine to fail processing any movable graphics around it when facing one specific direction. Am I right? Well, it's as they say: It's not a bug, it's a feature.  ...Too bad that using off-pallete stuff for too long usually causes the game to crash. As a suggestion, I say that you could put on it an AEmitter set to emit short-lived actors with very high Charheights, as that might make the AI miss when shooting at you. Nice idea turning it into a mod, now you just need to find a way to make it work when you are not facing right. |

I seem to remember there being much less glitchy exploits for invisibility. No download, sounds... useless. AI can still see you and humans just look for the '100 health' floating in the air. |

Mainly I see the use for this as, oh, I dunno, add it to a dropship or a turret, or as part of a mission, where destroying some generator(attached on an attachement) takes down the field. It could also disguise the exact actor/weapon you're using. |

Just sweet. Don't know how you did it, just amazing. Top points to creator for me never seeing something like this in CC. |

Someone made this before on accident, if you've still got the right facing only, it's nothing new at all. It works by exploiting the utter confusion the game has when faced with a blank unpaletted sprite. It ends up masking everything below it, surprisingly, but then when it flips the sprite, it redoes the 'rendering', and makes the brown lines. Because of the flip problem, it's clearly not suitable for this use. If you could find a way to make it work while facing leftward, then it would be worth it. I couldn't. Best of luck to anyone trying. Off the HUD would make it awesome, but you can't. (Although you could use actors that show no HUD) If you could make it in a circular shape too, that would just be bitchin'. But you can't. DL'd just to be sure, and yeah. Same as the old thing. But a bigger 'field'. I'm not saying you copied them, I'll believe you that you thought it was new. I'm just saying though, it isn't. |

*shrug If I thought it was practical in this form I'd have put it in one of my "real" mods, I was just kinda pointing it out 'cause I've heard some people mentioning wanting stealth and whatnot. |

Apologies, I only meant 'no download' as in 'I have not deemed this mod worth using because (constructive criticism)' Everyone else is ok with these expressions, so chill. |
