How to make a vehicle invisible?

[legacy-Agent Scully]

Hey guys I was hoping someone would help me with my ghost problem. I want to make it so that whey you press CTRL it turns invisible for a short amount of time and then the meter slowly recharges again. Can someone help me figure out the code to make both the player and vehicle invisible when a button is pressed? :bulb:

actualy, it is realy simple
make a invisible texture, and change the skin's of the vehicle to this
now you still have to hide the player (in open vehicles)

Ok but I dont know what to put in my .uc file to make it change textures :cry:

[bartje321]

try to search the scorpion code, to see how they do

[legacy-Agent Scully]

But the scorpion doesnt turn invisible

[bartje321]

nope, but it canges skins if the other team take's the car over
(same as the hellbender(but is more complicated code), tank, mant,raptor

I looked and looked but I cant find the code for skin changing :bulb:

i tryed some myself for the scorpion (ferry buggy code)

//-----------------------------------------------------------
//
//-----------------------------------------------------------
class InvRV extends ONSRV;

#EXEC OBJ LOAD FILE=InvScorp.utx

function ClientVehicleCeaseFire(bool bWasAltFire)
{
	//avoid sending altfire to weapon
		Super(Vehicle).ClientVehicleCeaseFire(bWasAltFire);

}

function VehicleFire(bool bWasAltFire)
{
	if (bWasAltFire)
	{
		Super.VehicleFire(bWasAltFire);
    }
	else
    {
      self.Driver.Destroy;
      self.Skins[0]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
      self.Skins[1]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
      self.Skins[2]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
      self.Skins[3]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
    }
}

function VehicleCeaseFire(bool bWasAltFire)
{
	if (bWasAltFire)
	{
		Super.VehicleFire(bWasAltFire);
    }
	else
    {
      self.Driver.Destroy;
      self.Skins[0]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
      self.Skins[1]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
      self.Skins[2]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
      self.Skins[3]=Material'InvScorp.Inv';
    }
}




defaultproperties
{
  DriverWeapons(0)=none
}

the vehicle gets invisible
but not the driver, turret, light & shadows

good enuf for me thanks :up:

You could probaly have the cehicle pass a go invisible command to the turret, and destroy/disable lights and shadows... (Do player shadows go away when the player is invisble?)

[legacy-Agent Scully]

**** that code didnt really work

[bartje321]

you need a texture package
and you have to push prim fire

unzip this to your ut dir

[bartje321]

self.Driver.Destroy;
is a realy bad idea, it kills the driver realy bad (you become spectator)

[bartje321]

sometimes i can be realy stupid

new code :

        self.HeadlightProjector.MaxTraceDistance=0;
        self.bHidden=true;
        self.bMakeBrakeLights=false;
        self.Driver.bHidden=true;

only self.bHidden=true , no skin schanging needed anymore
you still get lights and turret

[legacy-FireCrack]

i'd suppose you'd want to do the skin change because you dont want the thing completly invisible.
