Can someone please help me with a script for arbiter style active camo???

(script continuous dascript
(if ( player activates flashlight)
engage active camo
(sleep 180)
(disengage active_camo)



Is something along the lines of what I need

Thanks

As far as I know, that script won't work. I recall once that the method to achieve such active camo is to create an active camo powerup, name it, say, 'camo', and then use a script to detect when the player turns on the flashlight. When said player does, attach the powerup 'camo' to the player, hence creating such an effect.

I'm not quite sure about the scripting though - you'll have to figure that out yourself and/or with other members.

Thank you i was thinking about that. Can someone please help with the script?

I have tried before, it isnt exactly like in H2 but along the same lines.

1. Make a new .equipment tag or mod the current Active Camo equipment and set the powerup time (located at the bottom) to 0.1 seconds and delete the sound directory so you dont constantly hear the powerup. Next, get in the map via Sapien, somewhere the player cant pick it up normally, and call it camo.

2. Compile this script

(script continuous camo
(if (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) 1)
(begin
(object_create_anew camo)
(objects_attach (list_get (players) 0) จจ camo จจ)
(objects_detach (list_get (players) 0) camo)))
(sleep 3))

This script checks every 0.1 seconds if the flashlight is on. If so, it applies a 0.1 second long active camo. Lather rinse repeat.
Then again this might not be accurate as I cannot test this ingame atm (the script is correct, though).

Did a few adjustments.

Thanks, cant type very well with this keyboard.

So that script would only give me 0.1 secs of active camo? Or would the active camo go for the normal amount of time an active camo goes for. I'm guessing the second one.

It basically teleports an active camouflage equipment to the player and detaches it, giving the player a seemingly "instant" active camouflage. All you are really doing is picking up an active camouflage like any other time, except it happens to be right where you are. So yes, regular time.

In addition to Grunt's script, amke sure that you go into each weapon tag that's in the map, and change the active camo revealing setting (Pretty sure it's called Active Camo ding) Make it so if you fire the weapon at all, the regrowth time is the recharge time in seconds.

okay thanks guys. I will make the active camo only last around about 5 t0 7 seconds

Wait, how do you change the run time for a powerup?

Powerup functionality is hard-coded.

I have already set it to five seconds but have decided to raise it to 7 seconds. But here's the problem:

Every five seconds, if the flashlight is active, the script will spit out another active camo. So essentially u have unlimited active camo while the light is active but everyone can see you cos the flashlight is blasting at their face

Which tag do i need to edit to set the flashlight to only be active for 1 second?

(script continuous camo
 (sleep_until (= (unit_get_current_flashlight_state (unit (list_get (players) 0))) 1)
 (begin
   (object_create_anew camo)
   (objects_attach (list_get (players) 0) จจ camo จจ)
   (objects_detach (list_get (players) 0) camo))
   (sleep 30)
   (units_set_desired_flashlight_state (players) false)
 )
)

Added the command.
