| Post subject: | 3 Legs? |
Just wondering, Since im planning on making a War of the Worlds mod ( Jeff Wayne style... ) If it whould be possible to make a 3 Legged creature? Ive got a Idea on how to do it, using a crab and a invisable 4th leg. |

One of the legs would have to be false. |

Will there be Capsule drop pods? |

Theoretically, you could also use animations for the legs that make it appear three-legged. That way, you wouldn't have to deal with the shitty ACrab walkpaths, and would have arms. (I've considered doing this; depending on the formation of legs that you want, you'd probably want to animate the foreground leg to look like two legs, and the background leg to look like the third leg) What look exactly are you going for here? There are a variety of possible iterations, so.... |

With Lua, you could have a pretty animated thing that followed the actor around, but to make it actually do stuff would be a pain. |

What I don't get, is why you couldn't have a dreadnought with three legs designed individually. Like for instance you have two foregound legs (normal shape in front special shape in back) and one background leg (normal shape, parallel to the front foreground leg). |

Here's a constructive post. (unlike my last) Elaborating on the original idea, could you have BG and FG front legs, but only a FG back leg, the BG back leg being invisible. |

Im hopefully gonna try the Jeff Wayne version of the tripods, which look like this  .Quote: Will there be Capsule drop pods? Yep, The martian Cylinders will be in it, and will emit a Green glow as they come down. EDIT : On a Note, how do you create glows anyway? I know its a Aemitter, but how do you use the emitter? |

Actually, the emitter emits a particle that has a glow on it. Search the vanilla stuff for "ScreenEffect" for examples. |

Depends on what you want to do with the glow. If you want to have a glow like S.A.Ws or my Aegis's antenna, you would make a MOPixel with an attached screen effect, which would look something like this: Code: AddEffect = MOPixel PresetName = Antenna Glow [Stuff] ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Aegis.rte/Images/Antennae Glow.bmp EffectStartStrength = 0.5 EffectStartTime = 0 EffectStopStrength = 0 Pretty simple. Note that you can attach the Code: ScreenEffect = ContentFile FilePath = Aegis.rte/Images/Antennae Glow.bmp EffectStartStrength = 0.5 EffectStartTime = 0 EffectStopStrength = 0 To a Bullet MOPixel as well, which allows for the effects of basic energy weapons, like the blaster. If you want to attach it you would need to make an Emitter which emits the MOPixel in question, something like this: http://pastebin.com/jX7Ly6Lb Then you would proceed to attach it, usually on an attachable. Just stick this in the end of your code: Code: AddEmitter = AEmitter CopyOf = [Name of your Emitter] ParentOffset = Vector //Offsets of the Emitter X = 0 Y = 0 |

Im not sure which type of glow it whould be, As its for the Green mist behind the cylinder as it comes down. I had a Idea of using a Greenified version of dropship engine trail, but that just looks ugly. EDIT : Is there a If statement equivelent in Cortex command ini? |
