Post Hunters Pounce Help
I would like a lua file to attach to my hunter to make him:
- Crouch
- Pounce
In that order please. The pounce could just make hime jump high or lunge forward fast and look like a jump. Or if you can just make him lunge forward like a jump it would be better. I will release my hunter to those who contribute.

So are you requesting help or just demanding someone do it for you? There is a requests forum for that.

This line is from the crab mission, and I think it's what makes the mega crab jump/pounce.

Code:
self.mamacrab.Vel = Vector((self.target.Pos.X - self.mamacrab.Pos.X)*0.045,-15 + ((self.target.Pos.Y - self.mamacrab.Pos.Y)*0.025));

You figure out the rest.

Tried it thats why im asking you to help because im new to Lua. I just got my files into that format so i can start learning and so far i have a failed Rogue script and thats it. So if someone can help me make the Lua file to either jump or crouch then jump then please help and no im not demanding it im asking.

There's a Lua tutorial stickied in this sub-forum that explains everything you need to know to get started in Lua. The best way to learn, in my opinion and the way I learned Lua, is trial and error. There's even a full script at the bottom of the tutorial that is full commented. I'd rather you try and have a non-working script than to not try this at all.

Edit: and post your results, and I'll help fix things and explain stuff.

You're asking them to do all the work for you, you aren't doing any of the work yourself. You won't learn anything that way.


Code:
function Create(self)
   self.uptimer = Timer()
   self.downtimer = Timer()
end

function Update(self)
   if self.uptimer:IsPastSimMS(500) then
      self.Vel = Vector(0,10);
      self.upTimer:Reset();
   end
   if self.downtimer:IsPastSimMS(750) then
      self.Vel = Vector(0,-15);
      self.downTimer:Reset();
   end

end

um, Hunter Pounce HELP.

Help means to have someone or something help you do a task.
Asking someone to do it for you is called, demanding, begging, etc...

From what i see here, your not even trying to solve your own problems, you have several threads asking for help, and in each one, you ask the drl
community to do separate parts of your project, with minimal effort on your part.

You will not learn by asking for people to do things for you, only if you do them yourself.
In fact, in mod making i see a lot of posts by you.

Quotes for impact:

Credit will be given for the Cement throw!!!

Also PM me if you would like to help with the mod and be on the Bio-Mods team!!!
If my other members will let you join(they will)


if its so simple, do it yourself

Ok to start i asked for a cannon but since no one wanted to help me make that ill request help with a scene/mission. Well basically it starts in the olden times and yes theres slaves. So the black people revolt and no im not racist i just love old time battles. So the white farmers, officers,white people fight back. So what i want for a map is to start on a mountain to the left of the map and then sneak through caves and have a huggeeeeee cliff to dive off of and land in the village of the white people. Oh yeah the story might change to the blacks ran away to a small hidden town on the mountain and then came the whites and the blacks have to sneak in to get revenge for slavery. Sorry if it sounds racist but im seriously not racist at all.

In everyone of these, your requesting people to do a part of the mod and/or fix it for you.

Not a good idea.

Misunderstood him, :P

But, the point still remains valid.
