Summary0003110: Message Brackets not displayed with 'Invisible to Friendlies' flag
DescriptionYou have a ship in mission. You have checked the box 'Invisible to Friendlies when Stealthed'. The ship is NOT stealthed and can be targeted. If it sends a message, FSO will not draw message brackets around the ship.
Steps To ReproducePlay the attached mission. The Hercules will not get message brackets drawn even though it is specified as the sender of the message.
Additional InformationThis is undesirable behavior because the cause is unclear. 'Invisible to Friendlies when Stealthed' says to me that it will do stuff when the ship is Stealthed and it won't do stuff when it's NOT Stealthed. However this is not the case. In some part of the targeting code, FSO is considering the ship to be Stealthed.

 Patch uploaded; compiled and tested to fix the issue with the provided mission file. Glancing through the code, there might be other instances of SF2_FRIENDLY_STEALTH_INVIS being used where it assumes the ship is also stealthed at the time. For instance, multi_sexp_deal_with_ship_flag() clears the player's target if they're targeting a ship and you apply SF2_FRIENDLY_STEALTH_INVIS to it... regardless of whether or not it had it before and regardless of whether or not it's stealthed (and regardless of whether or not it's on the same team, even!). Not sure if that fits within the scope of this issue, though.

 Yup that works.

 Yeah, MageKing17 is correct. SF2_FRIENDLY_STEALTH_INVIS controls what happens when the ship is stealthed; it says nothing about whether the ship currently happens to be stealthed or not.

 All issues with friendly-stealth-invisible should now be resolved.
