Would be great if the hide healthbar stuff in the scripts actually worked. An option to hide player names would be great as well. Would be very useful for improving the mirage tank scripts as well since if you get close enough the name shows and the hitbox is visible as well.
|
Well I hate to say it but most Ren maps don't have enough trees to make the mirage tank useful. You play the map once and after that you know where most of the trees are, so the player just is like "That shouldn't be there!"
Maybe if the map was setup to randomly place trees...
|
The maps we have the mirage tank on have more than enough trees. We also have the mirage tank set to use a cactus on the desert map we have, and have thrown the idea around to use a lamppost on urban maps. It works quite well as it is, but hiding the hitbox and playername would improve it a lot.

The AR mirage tank scripts hide the player name and healthbars etc  We've been doing it since scripts 3.4.4 and possibly earlier, nothing special required.
|
I see you are doing that by enabling stealth. We also have stealth generators and stealth crates etc, so the two may conflict which is why it would be nice to be able to control this behavior separate from the stealth logic. This also would allow us to keep the hitbox and name hidden even when firing.

Of course that has problems of its own, since you're effectively making the logical bounding box for all components of the vehicle HUGE.
If you want to hide the health just enable the "not targetable" option.
|
Creating a boundingbox on the model itself prevents the engine from drawing its own (both worldbox and boundingbox).

Didn't know that worked across the network for specific vehicles in 4.X, if it does definitely just do it that way (never needed to use it in any of my mods, no marriage vehicles in ECW).

There is code (even in stock renegade) that allows the Commands->Set_Is_Rendered script command to work for vehicles. Scripts 4.2 expands the command to work for other things but it works for vehicles even in stock.
I have no idea whether an object hidden by Set_Is_Rendered will be targetable or not (or what other side effects using Set_Is_Rendered will have) but its there and usable.
