adding cloak on transporters

[Helios]

i want to add the cloak option to all the transporters eg overlord, prottoss shuttle and terran dropship.

i have added cloak and decloak buttons in stargraft and was wondering what values to use because i do not want to have to research anything for them to cloak. i saw cloaking field and personal cloak (which do i use) and in requirments i added them to the personal cloaking area but it still wouldnt work. the button always remains faded as in i cant click it.

i know im doing something wrong. i tried reading a tutorial but didnt help me much

i would say cloaking field because that's the one for the wraith and all transports are air units

yeah i did that still doesnt work.. im not exctly sure what to do

well bit of progress. i got the button for cloak being able to be pressed but when i do nothing happens and the icon doesnt change to the uncloak button

well, you need to add a cloak and uncloak button in stargraft that both share the same nbutton slot. I had the same problem once trying to make a battlecruiser nuke. Make sure all of the requirements and things for the button tab is the same as for cloaking field on wraith, then you probably have to go to the requirements tab, select cloaking field, and theres probably a part that says "current unit must be > Terran wraith. So you need to change that to the units you want. there might be an option for terran air units, i dont know, but if there isnt, you add one unit at a time, and right-click to "insert, to make more "current unit must be"s.

Well, as much as I hate to point to an obvious solution, (after all, that's "Oaf"s job, lol), have you tried checking to box labeled "spellcaster" in arsenal 3?

Second, when a unit is selected, and you rightclick the dropdown box that lists off a units commands, it gives you a menu to add, or delete a button. I am guessing you already know this, but anyways. After you have made your new button slot, assing it an new slot number and everything. then their are like, required values, and such. for decloak, select, I think it's "is using ability", and for claok, um, do whatever it is for the terran wriath. Also, you might want to play around with the req, and action values, to try and see which one works. Well, i was prorbalby as useless as cant_do_didily.com, but it's a start.

i tried it on a terran medic instead and got the same result (clicking the button and nothing happening) though i did get the message when there wasnt enough energy so it didnt cloak, but when it did have enough it still wouldnt work. i copied exactly the same settings from the ghost and added the medici nto the requirments and i did set it to cloakable and it still didnt work, ahh well dont worry wasnt to important.

Cloak only works on the units that already have it because the game was only programmed to give those specific units the ability to cloak.
