Might be a nice way to stop guys using radar to spot shit and to use thier eyes

[Spyder]

Yeah I saw that too. Looks great and seems to fix the problem. So now we can enable the engine to power the turrets :)

Hey Overlord I also found a mod that welds a metal plate over the drivers view slot on the tanks!! We definitely need it!!

Until you're a pilot actually flying in a battle in AToW, this statement borders on ridiculous.

The great thing about this is that you can selectively set what can and cannot be seen.

This would give the option to have say just recon vehicles 'invisable' to radar or Recon & MHQ. I would definately like to see that.

We could then look/test on the affect of all land based vehicles being invisable to radar, which undoubtably would be a much bigger change gameplay wise.

Or does it block the RADAR on vehicles listed, not blocks vehicles from others radar.

That a bit exagerated, the mod could put more emphasis on teamwork and army organisation instead of it being over at the point and shoot side of the scale.

and I think drens right, it just blocks the radar for the lsited vehicle.

We should be able to selectively stealth a vehicle without a script, just a config change.

I think it blocks the vechical in the line from showing up on any radar IE If BMP is decleared all BMP's will not show up on any bodys/any vechicals radar

If you read that it says it blocks the vehicles in the lists radar from working. If you go to armaholic there is a screenshot which shows this.

I think it would be good to block MHQs from being radar-ised

That means that M1A1s and Vulcans won't have access to their own radar, not that they won't appear on other people's radar. There's a lot of mis-understanding in this thread about what this actually does. This script just puts a box over where the radar is displayed essentially.

To remove units from everyone's radar is in the works, but it's a lot more complicated than this script. :)

[Moody]

I'm assuming you've tried it then. Does it hamper lock on ability as well?

MAW|WO5.Moody;69938']I'm assuming you've tried it then. Does it hamper lock on ability as well?

Nope, it just blocks out the radar display. Actually during a tight turn I even saw the little red blip appear under the radar block area. :)

You can still lock targets as before.

[Moody]

Ah. Disappointing. Far less interesting then. All you have to do is hit lock until you see something then. Not a huge difference.

[[IRT]36th|CPL.OV3RLORD]

ahh well thought it was better than a cheap black box not very good after all

Thanks Pirin, you saved me some posting time. Exactly correct.
