Invisible? ...Maybe Not.

     This seems to be as good a place to put this as any. I have this problem with  :ff: where any custom characters that use the Cloaking power to go invisible are still attacked by opponents with ranged attacks. I hate that this keeps happening, as it obviously defeats the purpose of having that power unless I'm swapping it out, so how do I fix that?

Someone can correct me, but I think that was an unresolved issue in the game related to powers that "functioned" by changing the UI rather than really working, in terms of AI and game physics and so on. In other words, the invisible character may not show up or may be really small (so as to be invisible), but the AI doesn't know that he shouldn't be able to be targeted. There is a similar problem with Density Max where a character hit by the power falls and can't fly, but only because the fly option is gone from his menu. Unfortunately, that only prevents player-controlled characters from flying as the AI-controlled ones don't use the menu. So, AI-controlled characters would fall and then immediately start flying again.
