I could take a look at the crab-morph/regen script. I have an idea in my head how it could work.

Also, the sprites need more orange and blue, and less pure red.

EDIT: The weapons need more originality. But since it's a WIP, I guess it's something you're working on.

Also, I'm not a fan of predator sounds when I switch between weapons. Switch sounds should never be changed into a sound longer than one second.

I always thought of the sentry as a guard because of its name...

Here:
Attach this script to the troopers:

And this one to the ACrab:

I was making a slightly neater script that makes the crab spawn from the actor's head instead of the actor. It doesn't seem to want to spawn on the right team though, it always turns to gaia.

Have you tried setting the "Team" attribute of the ACrab to that of the AHuman as in my script?

If you want to change the crab's position to the head shouldn't you just be able to use a.Pos = self.Head.Pos? Then you can delete the head after making the crab. You'd have to check if the actor still has a head but since the crab comes from the head you'd want to do that anyway before spawning the crab.
You shouldn't have to do ToAHuman I think, since self is clearly an ahuman and the head is a defined property for AHumans (along with legs and arms).

I don't think there's a self.Head.Pos available to use in scripts.

I applied the script on the head instead, since you can check the actor (and it's team) from it's root.

For some reason though, even though I defined the team to be on the actor's side, it still spawns as -1.

Yep there is a .Head.Pos, I just tested it. .Pos just tells you where something is, it's a property of SceneObject which is essentially the parent for everything (at least according to the wiki) so pretty much everything in the game that's lua accesible has it.
As for the team, have you tried printing what the rootid's team is to make sure it's getting it right?

And why don't you just place the script on the actor? It should be easier that way.

And, for the thing of the head, you could make the head gib when the actor's health is < 1, and make the script run when it detects that the head is gibbed, to create the desired effect.

-you know that I looked at the concept art and it does look more orange then red. Ill fix it.

-dont worry, better weapons will be on there way

-Its actualy a Raptor sound effect from my favorite movie. Ill cut down the effect to one sec, ass you wish.

Thank you The Chairman. Im applying the code now.



I dont know alot about lua but i think i can read it and there's a part in the medic drone.lua that mentioned something about self.head position thingy to emit the healing cross over other actors head I hope that helps with your code.

I think the medic drone script used something like HudPos instead. Regardless, I was not aware of the head thing. Neat, I guess.

No problem, I'm glad I could help^^

Um.. I think that I have A problem with the script you attach to the Ahuman. If I place your script, then they wont Have HumanAI Scripts so they will be . Also when I did use the script It did not work. the one you attach to the ACrab is fine and it works like a Charm.

If I'm not wrong, when the actor dies (hp < 1) without being gibbed, the Destroy function isn't triggered.

Modyfing the same code a bit should work:

is there a way to put this script without removing the HUman AI script
