+Genuinely just for notes now.
-Most stealth/invisibility/transparency effects don't play back in demos. The few exception (like trainer War Witch and Numina) are built into the model and not something you can apply.
-However, although the standard stealth powers don't work, this FX does:
-OBJECTIVEOBJECTFX/GHOSTED.FX
-This is the placeable mission objective effect (like for planting bombs) that make the objects transparent until you place them. I did a quick demo test as follows (splicing States onto the City Rep):
-6 NEW "City Representative"
-6 NPC Model_Statesman
-6 POS 128.5 -768 -639.5
-6 PYR 0 0 0
-6 MOV ALTREADY_TRANS_XARMS
-6 FX Maintained 7 OBJECTIVEOBJECTFX/GHOSTED.FX 0
-The FX line is the only one I added (make sure it doesn't conflict with any other FX) and voila! Transparent Statesman.
-Qualifiers:
-* The transparency effect pulsates, so it's not a consistent steady level of transparency.
-* The FX also includes the mission objective noise, so you might have to work with the audio.
