## About The Pull Request Introduces a new MODule in the uplink, makes the user transperent and grants the ability to siphon light sources to recharge your suit. Ingame demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhXNOAMDy4U ## Why It's Good For The Game I've been playing a ton of Splinter Cell and Intravenous recently and this random idea popped in my head. "Wouldn't it be cool if traitors could blend in the darkness to get a jump on their opponents?" Also unrelated "Wouldn't it be cool if tots had a tool to recharge their suit that didn't involve sitting in a pod for 10 minutes?" This PR introduces a new module to the uplink, the Wraith. It comes with a passive and active component. Passively it works exactly like the crew version of the cloaking module with just a couple of differences. 1) Doesn't need to be manually activated, if you lose the cloak it's regained after 5 seconds. 2) Lower stealth alpha value( how trasperent you are basically), slightly less visible than the crew version, not as good the ninja module however , I tuned it just enough so that you are more or less undetectable in the dark. The active component of the module lets you destroy stationary lights to recharge your suit power, if used on handheld or borg lights it turns them off for a minute. **Why do we need this module when we already have the stealth implant and the chameleon projector?** I can think of a few reasons. 1) MODsuits were designed to be customizible, traitor suits range between 6 to 16 TC, having to invest in a 7-8 TC item after you already bought a suit is fairly expensive. 2) This MODule would be a better fit for ambushes, as it doesn't have the *uncloaking* delay of its counterparts. It is however considerably worse if you get caught, as the cloak is disrupted on bump or damage. 3) It has better interactions with the sandbox. Lights can go out for many reasons, maybe it’s just a power outage, or some assistant broke it, or maybe it was anightmare. It leaves room for plausible deniability, adding to the paranoia. It's also not complete invisibility, if you want to stay undetected you need to lurk in the darkness, you might expand your domain, at the cost of the crew eventually wising up to your shaeneningans. Lastly, since the active component of the module uses the same proc of the saboteur handgun, I've updated the code to be a generic proc rather than a signal, to make it easier to reuse in the future.
