Make it come load with some bloby things so it look like its spitting acid spit

Man, lots of replies.

Jox =3 - Nope, no attacks in the works for it. They're benign floating mammals (?).
re: Egg Laying - Yes, it's too quick, and it takes a lot of health off. It'll be balanced when/if the cycle can be completed, doncha fret.
re: Spawning Broke-Breakwound - Yeah, can still do it. Maybe that might be needed. I'll check it out.
re: Realism - Not at all concerned about realism, just game balance. The only reason I want them to reproduce at all is so the fun of shooting em down stays as long as desired.

Wait. So why are you wanting a break wound? You could just, y'know, put the emitter on there; the hacky breakwound thing isn't necessary anymore.




Anyways, I like the mod, but the things' means of flight doesn't really make sense. But, I guess you did say you weren't going for realism, so I'll try to avoid rambling about it.
I've always liked the idea of a near atmospheric buoyancy animal, though.

It's good for how much is completed, but it really sounds terrible with those default dropship sounds. The little ones make good looking wildlife.

Why do wings not make sense for flying?

What I mean is, in the description it says that they make use of their planet's thick atmosphere.

If I had to guess the biology of the creature from that description, it is almost atmospherically buoyant on it's planet, and the wings need to do very little; it's almost floating on air; but not quite, and uses the wings very little to maintain altitude. If this were the case, and gravity were the same on the two planets, this thing would have to be flapping on overdrive, because planet [transmission interruption] does not have such a thick atmosphere, and in gameplay, it physically has none.


But maybe I just over-thought the thick atmosphere part of the description.

Er, yeah, I know. That's how it's been done. The question is not how to do it, but rather if it's more reliable.




The concept is both that it's buoyant and that a thicker atmosphere could support larger flying animals, both because it would be easier to be buoyant in such an atmosphere and because denser air would make it easier to create upward force by means of flapping wings. And clearly even ingame the planet has an atmosphere due to a)the Air material and b)there are plants all over. It may not be 'Earth' atmosphere, but there is an atmosphere.

Anyhow, that's too thought put into things, lol.

I mean physically. The sky is blue and the grasses are green, but there's no drag, terminal velocity, etc. It's not physically there, the air in CC is physically just empty space.
And the air material is only used on fireballs and other such effects which aren't intended to become terrain. Scenes don't use the air material, the air color, 255, 0, 255 is hard coded as nothing. Blank.

Is this a concept of a life cycle?
Good, but make the infant and the adult have pincers to kill.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and just say you're far overthinking this, because there's not much either of us can do with this limited of a physics engine except use our imagination every once in a while.

that gives me an idea. you should create a jar that gibs the xeno-things.

Whoah wait, Is it really possible to make a neverending cycle between these things and make it loop forever until a random violent nab puts a hole in this creature?

That's what he's trying to do.

The thing is, the way it's set up, it SHOULD work already. I suppose I'll just need to fiddle with it more until it works. Once I can get this one working, I can start making the other ones. Failing that, I'll give up an just make the adults lay eggs that hatch, because honestly, it doesn't really make sense that they breed so fast. It was just more for game balance/fun reasons.

Do you plan on remaking the other trickster mods you made?
Oh, and will this have some sort of attacks? Like pincers on the "DOOR"?

OMFG
How many times does he need to say NO!??

He's not going to give them attacks, SHUT UP!
