I honestly have no idea if this should have been in the request sub-forum or not. Anyway, I have an idea for a space map. It will take place on an astroid with very little gravity and with very dense soil. as I said, this is just an idea, but I thought it would be really cool. Now for the request... I can do most of the stuff but I'm clueless when it comes to lua, so if someone who's had a little experience with it could PM me that would be awesome, thanks.

I believe there was a Space map for the Halo MOD back in Build 14, try and search this forum if the topic still exists.

What does that need Lua for?

Turns out, contrary to Data's statements, or at least as far as my testing has gone, you cannot change a Scene's gravity with Lua.

Even if you could, you couldn't have selective gravity in one area and not in another.

You could fake it by applying velocities in certain directions when players are in a zone....
Thought that wouldn't change the orientation of the actor.

Gotcha has like 5 maps set in Space on his map pack V3 I think, one of them is 4 asteroids.

I was looking to do a space scene myself, but only with one asteroid as well.

Gotta learn to use the search function before posting. XD Anyway, I know there are spacemaps, but none of them where close to what I had in mind... But I guess if low gravity isn't possible then this idea just went down the drain.

Low gravity is very possible without Lua.

Hell, it's just one damn vector. 5 seconds of searching in a scene .ini would have yielded it.



You can even have sideways "gravity" to simulate wind.

If we set X and y both to 0, is that essentially weightless environment? Like, things just suspended in air unless moved by a jetpack?

Lowest: Yes.

Cool.

The only other question I have about a space map:
Is there (or is there going to be) any support for animated backgrounds? I have a Scene completed set in space, and I wanted my front most layer to have a few slow floating asteroids in the background. Seeing as how I don't see animated backrounds, I imagine this isn't currently possible?

No, not possible at this time, iirc.

And thats not a question we can answer.

but use of multiple background layers would look almost as good.

Well, It's for the Facing Worlds remake map I did. I wanted floating asteroids in the background, even possibley a simulation of the map spinning in space (to do the original Facing Worlds justice). Doesn't look like either of these are possible yet (Any particular reason why?).

I may play around with a front layer of my current planet in space layer, but frankly the space is such a high texture I don't know if I could find an appropriate quality asteroid set to work with.

Wait for my mod released . It will have 3 gravity power istead of 19.82 , so it is really hard to fly there . One click on jetpack and you flight up , very hight .
