== Stealth (Transparency/Invisibility) ==
+
 
+
Most stealth/invisibility/transparency effects don't play back in demos. The few exceptions (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):
+
 
+
0 6 NEW "City Representative"
+
 
+
0 6 NPC Model_Statesman
+
 
+
0 6 POS 128.5 -768 -639.5
+
 
+
0 6 PYR 0 0 0
+
 
+
0 6 MOV ALTREADY_TRANS_XARMS
+
 
+
0 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.
