Shock Cloaking

Redesigned cloaking shader to be more visible at close range. (Thanks Nin!)

Upon declocking from taking damage, cloaked alien units briefly gain improved invisible for 0.5 second.

Changed alien cloaking effect to be completely invisible when stationary at long distance (12m). Sneaking aliens are totaly invisible at 18-24m range.

Cloak now has 5 levels. Each Camouflage level gives +1, Shade gives +1 and Ink Cloud gives +5.

Each additional level of camouflage increases effective range by 16%.

Camouflage evolution decreases the cloaking delay after decloaking.

Increased cloaking delay after decloaking from 2.5 to 4.0/3.0/2.4/2.0 seconds (lvl 1/2/3/3+shade).

Cloaked aliens moving at slow speeds (<75% max) count as fully cloaked and no longer show up on marine minimap.

Ink Cloud protected aliens and structures count as fully cloaked.

Ink Cloud now removes the Detected status from aliens in the cloud and allows aliens inside to remain partially cloaked.

Clinging Babblers spawning from a Gorge start as cloaked.
Cloaked aliens that are stationary are no longer detected by Observatory.

Observatory can detect and mark Shade cloaked aliens, but no longer prevents cloaking.

Aliens are considered fully cloaked are ignored by Sentries, such as when sneaking.

Slowed the decloaking process from 0.25 second to 1 second to make cloaking effect more resilient against stray bullets.

Lerk max speed for cloak calculation purpose is now 9 instead of 13. This allows Lerks to remain fully cloaked when moving on the ground.

Detected status duration reduced from 3.0 seconds to 0.7 second.
