I guess you put it into the wrong place.

Here a working version to compare:

That's ok, you can't have it all I guess.

I was trying to add in energy consumption adding:

Script:
#self:SetMaintenanceConsumptionActive()
self:SetMaintenanceConsumptionInactive()
self:SetScriptBit('RULEUTC_CloakToggle', true)
self:RequestRefreshUI()

BP:
MaintenanceConsumptionPerSecondEnergy = 5,

But somehow it didnt do anything, was thinking of having it consume energy after it cloaks set in the script using energy consumption as set in blueprint like but my copy pasting didnt work. Any idea if i am missing some more pieces or just put it in the wrong place?

Thanks's a lot, Evildrew!

Sadly there is no way to change this from LUA side.
Evading cloaked units or intel is managed inside the c-engine.

One other general thing, I noticed that when you drive past a cloaked unit (selen, beetle with this mod), it is not uncovered like you would have had in C&C1 with the stealth tank. Also when you tell a unit to go somewhere and the direct path leads through the spot the cloaked unit is on, the unit drives around it. It know is it there but doesnt see it... Only if you tell the unit to go right on top of the spot of the cloaked unit will it bump into it. Is there a way in the game to improve this?

- Added hook for function OnAttachedToTransport to decloak unit while attaching to transport.
- Added hook for function OnDetachedFromTransport to cloak unit while deattaching from transport.
- Added toogle button to switch auto-cloak off
- Fixed a bug in function OnDestroyed (inherited from the original unit)

Brilliant Uveso.

One little thing remaining though. When a transporter picks them up, the remain cloaked. Any idea how that can be fixed?

Can someone have a look at that mod?
It seems to me the script is not in good order somehow but my coding is too limited to fix it...
