Yeah, it's called play as mando

You'll have to swap the texture to the uncloaked variant for both hair and skin.

I tried that and when I launch the game the stalker is cloaked.

Save the package?

Perhaps, I’m doing this wrong. I’m very new to this aswell, so I’m sorry in advance.

When I place the stalker on the map, I go into its properties and change it’s texture. Am I in the right spot to do this? And if so, how do I save it’s package from there?

What is it that you are trying to do? Have the map summon her as a actual enemy or use her as a prop?

That's also very important. I thought you were trying to change her texture to make her not invisible in the game lol

I'm trying to place her on the map uncloaked and have her standing still doing her idle animation.

Oh, so it wont work because she is coded to cloak. You probably have to repackage her or specifically just her animation and her textures/combine layer. I don't make maps so I cant really help on that part.

Ah, I see. Any advice on repackaging? How would you have made her spawn in uncloaked?

Well thats the thing. If you mean spawn in like a actual enemy, then you have to make a new script.

You can skip steps 4 & 6 because you are not making a mutator, just a edited Stalker to spawn into your map.

So go into KFChar/Classes and take ZombieStalker.uc, BrainDeadStalker.uc & ZombieStalker_STANDARD.uc.

Place these files in a new folder were you will be making your new uncloaked Stalker.

Remove all coding in ZombieStalker that allows her to cloak. Stalker_Standard should be redirected to your new ZombieStalker while Braindead should redirect to your new Standard script.

I think this is how it should be done but i just half ass my way through this. I know her cloaking effect is in KF_Specimens_Trip_T.Stalker_Invisible. In the opacity section it should be set to none (hit clear) and the diffuse section should read from her combiner layer (Combiner'KF_Specimens_Trip_T.stalker_cmb').

This would also make the Stalker no longer cloak.

I haven't gotten to your first suggestion yet, but I have done the second thing. While the stalker is indeed uncloaked, she's a little....off. Her skin color is off and her hair is blocky. Image blow:

i didnt check her skin tone but the hair is using its full poly. You need to use the shader layer (red box) to enable transparency.

Thanks for the reply. Where in the shader layer do you enable transparency?

No, the hair model has to read the shader layer instead of the combiner one.
