I would like to give the ED5 shield stealth under it because at the moment there is almost no reason to upgrade from the ED4. Will add to faction diversity without affecting balance much because Cybran shields suck hard and a single scout will still counter it.

Kryo : if anybody could tell me how to make a totally new overlay i will do... that was my first idea, but i didn't find a way to do this

The Cybran SCU has only personal Stealth. It could be interesting to give it an AOE stealth at some point in the future, but it's not the case for now. And if it ever becomes the case, the stealth radius could just match the buildrange for conveniency.

You forgot that the SCU got a steath field AND repair abilities.

this cannot be done as a UI mod only, can it?

Fixing the Stealth radius

2012-09-18T19:02:24+02:00

the "COUNTERINTELOVERLAY" class seems to be bugged, i noticed that this can only be change by superhard workaround with multiple ghost units with stealth around the original unit (it lags like wtf if you got 10 of them)

cause of that i suggest another workaround: using the "Buildrange" ("REPAIR") overlay instead (it has a quite similar colour but ofc you can not enable it by the global overlays)

would work like that:

Categories = {
'PRODUCTSC1',
'SELECTABLE',
'BUILTBYTIER2FACTORY',
'BUILTBYTIER3FACTORY',
'CYBRAN',
'MOBILE',
'LAND',
'TECH2',
'INTELLIGENCE',
'COUNTERINTELLIGENCE',
'OVERLAYCOUNTERINTEL', //get rid of that one
'VISIBLETORECON',
'RECLAIMABLE',
'REPAIR', //ad this
},

Economy = {
BuildCostEnergy = 800,
BuildCostMass = 80,
BuildTime = 400,
MaintenanceConsumptionPerSecondEnergy = 25,
MaxBuildDistance = 17.5, //ad this
TeleportEnergyMod = 0.15,
TeleportMassMod = 1,
TeleportTimeMod = 0.01,
},

and set this from 18 to:

Intel = {
RadarStealth = true,
RadarStealthFieldRadius = 20,
SonarStealthFieldRadius = 20,
VisionRadius = 16,
},

pros:
a circle displayed sowing the correct stealthradius
stealthradius would be as big as suposed to be (18)

cons:
you cannot enable "counterintelligence" as global overlay anymore (means you have to click the unit if you want to see the circle)
the colour of the circle will be the one of the buildradius (it's a similar colour but not the same)

my own opinion is that it is logical that if you have ONE circle around a stealthfield, it's the stealthcircle and not a buildrange circle

ofc the stealthfield can not build support or repair something although it has a buildrange then
