You know what, I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I did all the steps. It still won't function properly. it doesn't decloak and the energy doesn't drain properly.
I included the files that are key in my mod. They have the setup I have right now including your wonderful plugin. If you take a look, you'll probably see what I got done wrong or am missing.

I opened your NewModAttFG.exe in Firegraft and checked the Cloak requirements.

(Should be Enabled.)

It's not consistent.

I dont have those options on mine... ugh. Do i need a new version of Firegraft? Yours is 1.16 right? Link please?

I'm using 1.16.1 for SCBW but I have an updated *.fgd file for this version.

My bad, I thought I included the test package here, but I forgot to attach it. It is in the OP now. It includes the 1161.fgd file that you will need. Simply replace the 1161.fgd file that you have in your Firegraft directory and you should see it.

Edit: Ok, I went and downloaded a new version of Firegraft (the 11/15/13 version) and I have the new list items.

Tried this, didn't do anything for me. I am trying to cloak an Arbiter, instead of them using their original cloaking field. I originally wanted to have them cloak while idle, but it may not be possible for all i know.

I compared all the fields between mine and yours, they are all the same and this is not difficult. Yet I have NO button whatsoever...

I changed it from Cloak Mixed (no idea what Mixed meant anyway) to just Cloak and now I have a button again, but it is greyed out. As with all my previous attempts before finding this thread, enabling it with medieval man just gives you a cloak button that always tells you not enough energy and with cheats it does nothing when cilcked.

Your files worked just fine for me so it's obviously my fault, but I'm pretty confused because the instructions were simple.

Edit: I even tried it on your files instead of mine, this simply does not work on the Arbiter.

There might be an issue with the Arbiter being able to cloak. Try using another unit for now. It might also be a conflict with the AI orders of the Arbiter, since I vaguely recall the Arbiter having different idle AI orders than most units.

There's something about allowing the arbiter t cloak in the exe edits last I checked

Arbiter has a cloak AI order which is probably related to why this doesn't work.

I figured it had something to do with the particular unit. The reason I wanted to add a manual cloak is I removed the cloaking field script from its orders...which actually brings me to another oddity I discovered:

I played a couple extremely long vs. AI games and noticed the script to cloak nearby units somehow came BACK. Weird as hell, can't think of how on earth that happened. Another strange thing is in one of those games, it eventually shut itself off again and no longer cloaked nearby units. My Arbiter is a bit more like a Protoss Tempest so I removed the cloak field order to help balance. But I have no explanation for why the script somehow returned, which is kind of an even bigger problem than not knowing how to cloak it manually - I could live with that and try on another unit as you said.


I'm not quite sure what I'd be looking for, but I never found anything like you describe. Can you elaborate on this? <3

If you go into FireGraft and check for cloak references in the EXE edits tab, you should eventually find something that might help. Alternatively, check the script manually by using some AI editing programme and see if you can remove it bit by bit. It could be hardcoded but FireGraft can combat that to some degree.
