| Post subject: | Actors as Gibs? |
Well, here is the rundown. I am trying to make Zalo's mini dummy gib into two of itself, but I am having some trouble doing so. I added a gib to the head, and it looks like this: Quote: AddGib = Gib GibParticle = AHuman CopyOf = Mini Dummy Offset = Vector X = 0 Y = 0 Count = 2 Spread = 5 MinVelocity = 0 MaxVelocity = 0 GibImpulseLimit = 100 GibWoundLimit = 3 GibSound = Sound CopyOf = BoneCrack Basically, I can't figure out what to set AddGib and GibParticle equal to. Please help, because I want a wave of lag to crush my enemies as soon as possible. EDIT: I also want to mention that the lines are properly indented in the actual ini file, but I can't get them to show up right on the forums. |

I think those are fine, did you try running it? Maybe the problem is in another thing. Did you define the mini-dummy before? Because if you are inserting it the first time you define it it won't work. |

I tried running it, and it refuses to comply. I don't I have defined the mini dummy yet, though. How does one do that? |

Well, simply define it. Like defining the actor, you know. Defining every of it's parts (arms, head, legs, other attachables), then AddActor = AHuman and all that things. After you define it, you can make a CopyOf of it and in the end add AddGib = Gib and all the thing about the MiniDummy you defined first. So, it would be something like this: Code: Definition of Arms Definition of Legs Definition of Head AddActor = AHuman PresetName = Mini Dummy "Gib" ... AddActor = AHuman CopyOf = Mini Dummy "Gib" PresetName = Mini Dummy AddGib = Gib GibParticle = AHuman CopyOf = Mini Dummy "Gib" ... |

Is recursive gibbing even possible? I didn't think that you could have an object gib into itself. |

You have to completely redefine the actor a second time, this time using itself as a gib. It is fully possible and isn't that hard once you get the hang of it. |

Is it not possible to use lua to create an instance of itself as well? |

The .ini method works just as well and is probably less laggy. |

Ok, thank you guys. Huge help! I hadn't defined a new AHuman to use as a gib (ie. mini dummy "gib"). I was just trying to make the gib a copy of the normal "mini dummy". Thanks again! |

I got it working, so now I need to work on the spread and count. I need to get that "wave" effect. |

And if you make it gib into an AEmitter that emits Mini Dummies at different speeds? That can make it look wavy. |

I meant getting the mass of becoming a wave, but that sounds like it would work better. I am now wrestling with the problem of the mini dummies that gib from the original, because they don't gib into their own mini dummies. I got the "second generation" to gib into more, but the "third generation" didn't gib into more. It seems that, unless I utilize AEmitters, I would have to add a separate gib into each generation of gibs. |

You have to define them a lot of times and repeat the process you did the first time to make more "generations" gib. |

Or you could use luamajiggers to do the thingamajigger. |

I can't use these "lua" incantations you speak of. Their magic level is beyond my grasp. |
