Seeing wraiths with flashlight needs changed

[Mayan5507]

"COMPLETELY invisible while standing still"
Not really, As soon as wave4 starts, humans just turn on their flashlights rendering wraiths nearly useless for "Suprise attacks"
This needs changed to be as said "completely" invisible while standing still,
Change material of wraiths to moving seethrough one, Thats the fix i think

I thought the point of wraiths is that flashlights can find them and they have to be extra ninja when trying to kill humans. I can manage easily as wraith as a percentage of humans dont switch their flashlights on.

The point of wraiths is that they're visible WHILE MOVING. You have to be extra ninja by NOT MOVING. If you want to keep wraiths visible under flashlight, we should at least add a flashlight battery of some sort.

I always thought a FEAR-esque battery timer for ZS would be really cool.

I don't think it is possible. I know that, by default, the flashlight shader cast shadows of models and world geometry even if it is invisible.
To change this would require changing the C++ code for the server itself and rework the flashlight shader.

There probably is a work around but adding a flashlight battery can easily be done with lua.

That's while moving.

The issue is that they are supposed to be invisible completely when the wraith is completely still.

IMO, they should fix that - OR, OR if it can't be done (by which I mean physically, not being too assed to do so), make it so the text no longer claims wraiths can be invisible completely while still.

Uh Mayan, you DO know I made a guide on how to fix this right?

Didn't Noxious.net fix the flashlight glitch with the invisible wraith? Because I remember shinning a flashlight directly at a wraith, and nothing was there until it moved up to me and fucked my shit up.

We're talking about server-side
Not client-side

People can still do the method I posted and it doesn't take long, instead of making Coolz do all the work (editing server stuff)

I think you're misunderstanding. Mayan wants the Wraith to be more "invisible" .-.

While we're on the subject of wraiths, can we make it so that they move super slowly when crouching but remain invisible? I think that'd be fairly balanced.

that wouldn't work out to good if you were trying to get through a vent

What I do is hold CTRL+ALT so I walk and crouch. You move slow enough to be near-invisible, just gotta be careful.
