hi,

Hi im planning on making a stealth camo addon which is an object or item that you can pick up as a regular solder and when you use it you can be invisible to the enemy is it possible and if so what programs do i need to create the addon and the script?

I have not a lot of knowledge in matter of addon making but I think I could help you with the scripting part.

The scripting part should be like this:

init.sqs

;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Camo
;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[nik_CammoSoldier1] exec "camo_action.sqs"

exit

camo_action.sqs

_u = _this select 0

nik_camo=false

#l

_acon=_u addAction ["Camo ON","camo_on.sqs"]

_d=0.1
#con
~_d
if (alive _u) then {} else {goto "ende"}
if (nik_camo) then {_u removeAction _acon} else {goto "con"}

~0.01
_acof=_u addAction ["Camo OFF","camo_off.sqs"]

#cof
~_d
if (alive _u) then {} else {goto "ende"}
if !(nik_camo) then {_u removeAction _acof} else {goto "cof"}

if (alive _u) then {goto "l"}

#ende
{_u removeAction _x} forEach [_acon,_oacof]

exit

camo_on.sqs

_u = _this select 0

nik_camo=true
_u setObjectTexture [0,""]
_u setObjectTexture [1,""]
_u setObjectTexture [2,""]
_u setObjectTexture [3,""]
_u setCaptive true

#ende

exit

camo_off.sqs

_u setObjectTexture [0,"\yourcammoaddon\hands.paa"]
_u setObjectTexture [1,"\yourcammoaddon\head.paa"]
_u setObjectTexture [2,"\yourcammoaddon\legs.paa"]
_u setObjectTexture [3,"\yourcammoaddon\body.paa"]
_u setCaptive false

#ende

exit

Hello Revan87,

Here are some examples that already have "stealth camouflage" feature build in:

RZN Optical camo soldier

Ksatryia's Predator

I hope this help you aswell

I believe all you need to do is read up on alpha channels, hidden selections, and setobjecttexture. You'll want to make a semi transparent texture using the alpha channels, and to swap out the textures, your addon will need hidden selections to perform a setobjecttexture command on. Check out those terms on the biki.
