Command for Invisibility

[Fighter]

What I'm trying to do is make an admin command to make the player invisible to others. I've been searching around for things that could do this, but I haven't had any luck. I noticed this: ->s.eFlags = EF_NODRAW; but it appears that it doesn't affect players. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Unfortunately it's not that simple as that uses Quake 3's invisible powerup, which is not in JKA. I suppose I could try to bring Q3's invisible powerup code over though. Thanks for those.

Well there is already an item in JKA to make you "kinda" invisible (cloaking). Maybe you can use that. Afaik it pretty much uses the Q3 cloak powerup

It just applies a shader though, rather than making you invisible. I suppose you could just apply a shader that makes the player model 100% transparent though.

I have a mod that sets the rancor invisibility state (noclip and get eaten), perhaps you could look into that.

Do you mean fully invisible for admin commands or what?

[Fighter]

Yup. An admin command making the admin fully invisible to all other players so they aren't able to see him whatsoever.

Invisible, non-solid, client-predictable ghosts. They are not networked to any other clients, rendering wall-hacks ineffective.

Incomplete, but mostly functional.

You may also want to hide entities related to them such as their weapon's shots (by setting ent->r.svFlags |= SVF_SINGLECLIENT and ent->r.singleClient)

       targ->clipmask = CONTENTS_SOLID|CONTENTS_BODY;
       targ->s.trickedentindex = 0; targ->s.trickedentindex2 = 0; //This is entirely for client-side prediction. Please fix me.
       trap_SendServerCommand( targetClient, "cp \"^5Unghosted\n\"" );
   }
   else

Thanks for the help, Razor!

If its of any interest I think someone made an SP mod on jk2files that lets you play as a cloaked saboteur.
