This thread will contain all DS references I made. If I make more in the future, they will be added here as well. As of now, we have:

A simple presentation using progress overlay as boss hp (still not perfect as it has slider and isn't full even at max value). The intention was to recreate only the visuals, not the whole boss system, so I assigned only 1 specific troop for this purpose. If you are going to create multiple bosses, you'll have to heavily modify this code (considering presentation shift when there are more than 1 boss in a fight).

This system allows you to make any wall illusory. When such wall gets hit, it will emit a sound and disappear, opening a passage or revealing a hidden loot. You can use illusory walls to make locations more interesting to explore. Again, this was made for recreation only, so it supports only 1 illusory wall per scene. If you introduce the whole illusory wall system, you should create more scene slots and rework the hiding code at ti_on_init_scene_prop.

This will allow you to turn your character into scene object in order to blend-in with the enviroment. Code is singleplayer but it's quite useless in this mode - your collision is still human (so you can get a headshot while being a chair), enemies still see you, you need to code-in a lot of dependecies to make a use of being a prop. In multiplayer however, this will work as is, cuz you can fool human eye with transformtion alone, and ambush another players without additional coding. Just replace singleplayer get_player_agent_no operation with some multiplayer equivalent that will allow you to take a correct referrence. And maybe mask walking sounds somehow.
