How can I do this? I want a shield around my ships hull. The shield is invisible. When shields are up if the ship is targeted and hit or the ship hits a wall, upon impact I would like to make the shields appear for a second like in Star Trek and other scifi entertainment. I havent worked it all out but I thought maybe once the shields light up if the firing stops they would disappear again and once the shield has been penetrated the actual HP would be begin to be depleted. Mybe I could use the MP meter for the shields? I have created a transparent shield that shapes around my ship. What are some of the other things I would need to think about to make this happen other than creating the images for the shield affects?
