I'm going to hazard a guess it involves atom groups OR custom materials that are HitMos = 0.

Atom groups, there is a reason why it leaves a trail of weakened material, when it phases. ( via Material Scan )

So simple in code, yet revolutionary in function.
Is there even anything but null atomgroup replacements going on here?

Belongs on a Starcraft Terran Ghost sprite IMO.

I think I just got an idea for a scene that uses this to spawn enemies underground. How about making invisible crafts that phase through ground and drop down until they are gibbed into bug larva by lua areas. These larva dig up to the surface and lua turns them into flying insects which then proceed to kill you.

Well, there's HitsMOs = 0 and GethitbyMOs = 0 (I thought it would crash
if they were 1, but it doesn't. It just makes it EXTREMELY sensitive to MOs.)

Also you could just spawn digging up bug creatures at random points on the x axis underground.

They'd dig by constantly reapplied velocities. You could dig mines and tunnels to intercept them.

I see what you did thar Zalo, And its almost simple. :grin:
Clever coding, I never would have thought of that.

Much like other Zalo mods, Simple yet Useful, and makes people scratch their heads and say 'why didn't i think of that?'.

Give it a null atomgroup on all it's parts, like zalo did with the parts of this soldier.

This is a pretty cool mod Zalo!

I have some suggestions if you don't mind :)
Make the soldiers health decreasing, so you can't cheat with it. Make it's health to 30 or 15, have it decreasing every second, and when it drops to 0 then a normal clone would replace it OR it would just die. Either way is fine for balancing I think :)
