I was wondering if it was possible to make a tank that generates its own stealth zone around it and stealths other tanks and such.I know you can make an area that does it, but is it possible to make an area that follows the tank or such?If there is a way to do it and you have an idea on how,please give me a little walk thought if possible thanks.

You can probably use that JFW_Stealth_Zone script for that, probably work.

Can buildings me stealthed too? I was just thinking you could spawn a tank that couldn't be moved, didn't take from the vehicle limit and was positioned manually on the map... it could act as a stealth generator for part of the base. Bit pointless though because people know where all the buildings are, but it could stealth other vehicles and infantry (by giving them that stealth suit when they enter the zone)

This was the basic idea for the Mobile Gap Generator in Renalert... but they scrapped that one... Sad

I think not.

Buildings are part of the terrain and that is impossable to edit during the game (i heard).

Beter known as "raapnaap".

You cant make buildings stealth.
As for what you want with generator, look at JFW_Stealthable_Object in the readme file, it (along with something on the vehicle to do the stealthing) should do what you want.
You will need scripts.dll 2.1.2 to get that script though

There is a way to get stealthable buildings, but it would require adding alot of scripts and the buildings wouldn't be added to the terrain via gmax.

-You simply get a w3d file for each building. So I could have GDIWF.w3d, NodAIR.w3d, etc..

-Add them to the Vehicle presets.

-When adding to the terrain (by pressing make) the proxy which is inside the building would create the interior.

-Follow this tutorial http://renhelp.co.uk/?tut=30
Rather than adding the script to the ScriptZone, add it to the building.

The only problem is that when the building is destroyed, the building would disappear.
I'm not 100% sure on which script to use, but it would create another object upon death. You just simply create a damaged model which wouldn't be destroyable ingame to simply replace the full health version.

I have never actually done it, but I can see it working in some shape or form in my head.
