Or make the standard guns being used stronger.

Not insta-kill stronger, but stronger.

Well, he is tracking the brain, and you want it to run away if he doesn't have a weapon.
Well, if your main character isn't the brain and you use a invisible brain elsewhere?

I don't know, maybe they won't follow the character and that wouldn't be cool at all.

Well, and if you make them attack only when they are in a closer range?

Maybe reducing their weapon's SharpLength or the actor Perceptiveness or whatever is called that value, or if it even works for that.

Dude. That's. Just. Awesome.

That's the only thing modders almost never touch. You automatically are better than most modders.

A train?

This mission is going to be AWESOME.

Which will be the size needed?
Does it need different wagons sprited in different files?
Which is the style of it? Something like a 1850 steam train or a futuristic one?
Does it need open-able doors and stuff?

I could try to sprite it, but my sprites are hideous creations.

Before I attempt anything, why don't you ask a good spriter to help you?

Heyo. I got a bit of a backlog of stuff I need to finish and some damage in my wrist, but give me a list and I'll get around to it.

Some info about that train, to anyone who wants to sprite it:

• I'm gonna suggest that it uses the same scale as the train in CC located at "Base.rte/Scenes/Objects/Scripted", but at the same time feel free to adjust it as need be.
• With regards to floaty/non-floaty I'm going to (again) give the spriter the freedom to add wheels or just make it hover as they please. My thoughts are that making it hover would be easier on he spriter's part, and allows for easier management of objects when the actor exits the craft.
• Yes, it will be an ACRocket. This does mean it will have to have (at least) one door, either above or below the train. Below would be easier for me to code (but I can cope with above without too much issue), which is why I suggested not adding wheels and making it a floaty train above.
• I would very much like (and I appreciate this might be stretching it) two cars. The first two cars in the image here (non posted it on the last page after I gave it to him), ideally with the exits on the second car. Don't worry about making the cars into one sprite, two is fine and will look more realistic when I code it.

There is going to be very little story. In fact, I can't be bothered to write the story in at all. So while it will loosely use the level plan of HL2, it won't have any of the background.

Just thought I'd let you gentlemen know, I'm trying to sprite the train(s), and so far it's looking mediocre, but I'm trying.

I personally like it, but that's probably because I'm an egotistical bastard.

I was thinking of doing a kind of sheet metal kind of thing, making creases and putting bolts on it.

Is the red/orange too happy, or do you want me to turn it into a blue? If I was to make it blue, it might get lost in the darkness of the train.

Oh boy, I might have outdone myself here. I am giddy with glee.



Ladies and gentlemen, the train has arrived.

I'll get to work on the second train.

It'll go in a sort of beige color if possible.

How should the door work? Two sliding apart, one sliding backwards or forwards...

I honestly know next to nothing about crafts, so I don't know how they work. Door-wise, anyway.

The doors and craft itself are seperate sprites, so I should make them seperate, right?
