Title: Making a stealth ship with sexp
Post by: IPMASTER on February 19, 2013, 02:52:27 pm

I am just wondering is there any way to have your ships stealthy like in war in heaven tenebra. But only with sexp's?

Most of the stealth in Tenebra is done entirely with SEXPs.

So I only extract the mission and use it as a guide to make my mission own sexp and thats all?  ;)

FRED help you if you're going to decipher those sexps. :p

Is there a certain aspect you would like to emulate from those sexps or do you want everything they do? I can try to help guide you along if you like.

Thanks in advance Axem. I almost use that in my current mod, but lost the mission i remade that level. I have a GTF Aurora, and 'cause its a awacs type ship, i like the stealth hability, i  will user it later, thank you.

I'm very curious about this as well, particularly the stealth behavior in the assassination mission.

Haven't yet played Tenebra yet, but there are two "stealth tutorials" by Shade:

1. Sensor degradation with range or facing  (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Sensor_degradation_with_range_or_facing#Nested_.27when.27-based_event)

2. Stealthing ship to force target loss (http://www.hard-light.net/wiki/index.php/Stealthing_ships_to_force_target_loss)

While those will provide some useful structural tips, I don't think they specifically get at the problem here.
