it's really a Scripting Tips question but until you know that you dont know to post there do you? ;)

llSetLinkAlpha is your friend.

in particular:
CODE

llSetLinkAlpha(LINK_SET,0.0,ALL_SIDES);

is the line you need. (assuming the whole thing is linked of course)

L8r,
UU

P.S. IM me, voice or touch, if you'd like me to drop you a whole working script.

I can give you the basics, but for the exact wording of the script, you'll need someone else. Start by searching the forums for "invisiprim". It's a transparent texture, only accessible by script, that renders avatars behind it invisible. Then set a script to set all the prims in your ship to either the invisiprim texture or whatever your non-cloak texture is on command.
