Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 11/22/08
Idea:
Check if the unit is crouched and not fireing via controllers, then set the controller to disabled in a radius around it. Enable the AI at a range near the disable range.
Stealth done.

Stealth done. I don't quite follow... but I already have something nifty set up. It will probably be subject to change as lua capabilities increase though.

*drools uncontrollably* This is the first mod I played. Its predecessor is the first mod I messed with. This mod is now getting Lua.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 11/22/08
http://datarealms.com/wiki/index.php/LuaDocs/ControllerSo, first run IsState on the actor to check if it is control state 10(crouch). Then if so, run some distance code on all the actors If the actor is in a range, set the InputMode to disabled(don't worry, this won't prevent the player from controlling. If it is between the first range and a second range, set it to AI mode. I'm wondering, what kind of stealth system did you use, if not controller manipulation?

I just have the actor's sprite switch gradually between something that's visible and something that isn't (using frames). Then I just have it set up so the actor has the "invisible" sprite if they're not moving, but otherwise are somewhat visible while moving, or if there's stuff flying near them quickly (like bullets). That way if they get shot at, they get hit, since the sprite comes up fast enough to where they'll be "solid" once a projectile gets to them. I like this better than messing with the AI and controllers and such, since it actually allows AI actors to just act normally while invisible enemies are around. The only problem, as I said, is the fact that you can't do this with limbs and attachments yet, so right now the only thing that appears when the actor is "visible" is a vague disembodied torso. Consider it a work in progress.

That's fine, it's a useful anti-headshot device.

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 11/22/08
Oh !_! I was thinking youd wait for the "Invisibility" thing until Lua could work with that
Well nonetheless still good mod (As ive said)

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 11/22/08
still my fave mod ever, beautifully balanced, gorgeous sprites and subtle details and a cool concept.
Hats off to the Darlos9D!

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 11/22/08
Holy cow. First mod I've tried in my whole game. I loved those colors, the weapons, everything. I just wish you could make base sprites for the Darkstorm. And by the way, is this B23?

Re: DarkStorm Military Technologies - Updated 5/27/09
Gentlemen, BEHOLD.
I list updates at the bottom of the first post. Descriptions have also been updated.
Some things, such as the Active Camo and turret targeting will work a lot better once I can run Lua directly on attachments. As for now, the camo looks weird and the turrets only fire if they can see an enemy's torso or main body.
Actually, I'd really like the Active Camo to work like the cloaking in TF2 (turn it on and off, uses power), and make it standard issue for Shinobis (and maybe other units). But lack of limb/armor control prevents that. So yeah.
