What features do I need to make the players ship stealthy from an AI enemy. I'm really looking for the ship to be invisible unless the primaries/secondaries are fired.

I assume it would involve writing a variable that will always come true if weapons are fired but... I'm not sure how to do it   

(I'm pretty much looking to recreate the features of the Pegasus being invisible onto a stealth bomber).

The ship-stealthy SEXP? The ship stealthy flag in the Ship Editor->Misc Properties?

ha  I'll try opening my eyes next time.

I'm writing an event where the ship becomes un-stealthy when x distance from enemy. Could I have that argument become untrue when the distance becomes y and have the ship stealthy again. And is there a way to make that event repeating, so it constantly becomes true and untrue throughout the mission?

(i suprise myself with the fact that English is actually my first language  )

You'll need 2 SEXPs:

When
 |-<
 |   |--distance
 |   |     |---whatever the stealthy fighter is
 |   |     |---<any hostile>     
 |   |--500                                ----->note: replace with actual distance in meters for ship to become un-stealthy
 |-ship-unstealthy
      |-whatever the stealthy fighter is

and

When
 |->
 |   |--distance
 |   |     |---whatever the stealthy fighter is
 |   |     |---<any hostile>     
 |   |--500                                ----->note: replace with actual distance in meters for ship to become stealthy
 |-ship-stealthy
      |-whatever the stealthy fighter is

give each of them a repeat count of 999 and you're all set. Hell, I doubt there will be any chance a player will fly in and out of range more than 999 times...

I sort of worked out how to do it but thanks for the reply, good to know I'm on the right track  . How do I give something a repeat count?

Highlight the event you want to be repeated, then check the "Repeat Count" box right next to the event window.
