heh..hey guys..finding a void in your days now that JED 0.5 is done?
heres something for ya..
make a stormtrooper whos mats (except for eyes) are the same as whatever surface is
behind it until 3 seconds after its sighted the player, then have it
fade into solidity wearing stormtrooper armor with a camo texture.
Ive done a cheapo version of this where the stormie is wearing armor painted with
a rock texture, but hes still a 'solid' thing.
Now Im trying to make the texture on the armor animate..dont think Its going to happen tho.
Im thinking maybe theres a way to set a 'translucent' flag on a thing or on
its textures?
