It would be cool to have a stealth button that toggles stealth mode on or off

You can do this already with sexps.

-When
--Key_pressed
---(whatever)
--Invisible
---Alpha 1

*can't remember the exact sexp's but it's something like that*

No, he means stealth, not invisible to sensors. I wish there was a button like this too. That's why I mentioned it in the below topic this week...:headz:

Well, If we can get a "transparent" ship pof, then the ship-transformation routines I've been coding for the Robotech mod might work.  Not sure if the graphics engine supports true transparency, though.  But I would like to see invisible ships still give some distortion, myself...

I'm generalizing the specific code from the mod (not as easy as I thought it would be).  I'll see if I can't work in a timer or tie the ability to energy for those modders that might want stealth to be limited...

Just change the textures on a ship to the invisible.pcx (green), remove the thruster glows and put a tag in the table saying "dont collide invisible".
