Invisibility question for The Hidden

I am working on a game mode from the old game The Hidden: Source and can't find out how to make the players invisible in a good manner. If I set the player's model to nothing they seem to have god mode. If I simply set self hide();, you can not hear any footsteps, making it impossible to know your about to get stabbed. Is there any way to make the player both emit sounds and be invisible?

Can't you add a sound_fx on the players location?

Well I am quite new to coding so I'm not sure how to add a sound_fx to a player when they move. Plus, not sure what sound files will sound similar to The Hidden at all. Would prefer to have footsteps or something similar.

Easier said than done...

If you give me the soundalias, then it would've been pretty easy.

Code:

doSound()
{
self endon("disconnect");
self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "W", "+forward" );
self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "S", "+back" );
self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "A", "+moveleft" );
self notifyOnPlayerCommand( "D", "+moveright" );

for(;;)
}
self waittill( "W");
self waittill( "S");
self waittill( "A");
self waittill( "D");
self playsound("SOUND"); //Just replace the "SOUND" with the sound you want.
wait 0.5;
{
}

I couldnt find a footstep mp. But you could use something else.

or you could use playFXOnTag();

I tried the code, troubleshooted and couldn't seem to get one thing to work: It only detects on pressed, meaning it will only activate once. So as long as you keep W or whichever direction you want to go, you will never get detected. Making it somewhat impossible for IRIS. I currently have it so the hidden has cash fall out of him every few seconds, will use this until I find something better fit the game type.

Maybe poll for movement distance?

Code:

doSound()
{
        self endon("disconnect");
	self endon("death");

	for(;;)
	{
		self.before = self getorigin();
		wait .05;
		self.after = self getorigin();
			
		if( ( distance(self.before, self.after) > 20) )
                {
                     if(self GetStance() == "stand")
		     self playsound("SOUND");
		     wait .01;
		}
	}
}

Just some random numbers thrown in there, but that's the idea. Get location, wait, get new location, if player moved X distance and is standing (walking), play sound. It may be hard to narrow it down to a "footstep" speed, though.

Also, "self playsound" would only play the sound for the one player the script is running for, not the others that would need to hear it. You would have to code some magic to make the sound play for others that are nearby, based on direction. That's far over my head, though.

Well, since its my first mod I'm not that experienced with coding, so instead of a sound, I made money fall out of his pockets every second (lol). Probably my last question here, is there a list for effects or a location on where to find them? Like for example: emblems can be found in main/iw_00
