I was messing around while making maps, and figured out how to create an Arbiter style cloak-kinda. Before I go into it, I did search, and I haven't seen any topics about this. This only works for singleplayer maps. You place a health pack, cloak, etc. and give it a name. Check "not placed automatically". Then you script.

(script startup Cloak
(begin
	(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true))
	(object_create cloak)
	(objects_attach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) "" cloak "")
	(objects_detach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) cloak)
	(sleep 1650)
	(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) false))
	(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true))
	(object_create cloak)
	(objects_attach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) "" cloak "")
	(objects_detach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) cloak)
	(sleep 1650)
)
)

With this you cloak, and then wait, I think 10 seconds before using it again. And it only works twice, to make it continuous, make it a script continuous. You can also use the flashlight thing for other purposes, like meleeing if you're a hunter, spawning AI for backup, telling AI to advance with their command list, etc.

Here's one for melee with a hunter

(script continuous Melee
(begin
	(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) true))
	(magic_melee_attack)
	(sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) false))
	(magic_melee_attack)
)
)

I just wanted to share this with everyone.
