units stealthed while shooting?

Guest123 · Posted: Mon May 24, 2010 11:52 pm Post subject: units stealthed while shooting?

basically i want the gdi sniper to not be uncovered while shooting. i have removed the thing in the updateinvisibility tag but that doesnt seem to work.

The default according to the schemas is to reveal stealthed units upon attack so entirely removing the setting won't do any good.

Just try this:

Code:

What kind of error? When compiling or when in the actual game?

The 'ForbiddenStatus' attribute is invalid - The value 'USING_WEAPON_C' is invalid according to its datatype 'uri:ea.com:eala:asset:ObjectStatusBitFlags' - The Enumeration constraint failed.

ive tried it with 'forbiddenConditions' attribute which allows it in-game but it doesnt do anything

The correct line for that is actually:

ForbiddenStatus="IS_FIRING_WEAPON"

yeah i know, what im wanting is for the sniper to fire without un-cloaking like in generals

That's easy, you take the GDISniper.xml (squad doesn't have that code):

then find the "invisibilityupdate" code, and at ForbiddenStatus remove IS_FIRING_WEAPON

Edit: might want to remove IS_AIMING_WEAPON as well

that doesnt seem to work. just as golan said in the 2nd post the default in the schemas is to un-stealth to fire

Hmm it seems it's not as I tried it in my mod, ill look into it maybe I can find how to make it work. I don't see much use of it though as there's still plenty of units that detect them easily.

ill be lowering that amount significantly or changing them to detect specific types of units in my mod. ps my sniper now takes from 0.5 to 2.5 sec to aim and can only stealth-detect ground units so its quite a bit more realistic. thats one reason for the stealthed firing like the pathfinder in generals
