Is it possible to make a shield that surrounds you with a bubble? It would be awesome it's almost like quake-type shield expect it surrounds you with a red bubble and it acts as a shield with health (It will have 150 hp and recharges)

Here is a quick example.

Should be possible with a static shape, but I don't know if they can detect projectile hits and lose health.

if not then make it so it lasts about 20 seconds or so

Well, it can just spawn in as an object with ray-casting so there can actually be an effect on the shield.

Why not if possible make it like a bot that surrounds/follows the player?

is it also possible for a collision shape to be implemented? so it can block off players, vehicles, bots, etc.

yep it's very possible.

That's a nice idea but would be way better if the bot attacks the person that is attacking you. I think the shield idea would bring in more features. sorry double post


This is totally possible with staticshapes. The only real issues are that it will have to have collision for anyone outside of it, and that the player inside it could shoot out.

Well, the shield will have no ray-casting and you (YOUR self) must be shot and then the shield will lose health. The shield is still there in a static shape without ray-casting, and than when it loses 100% health it will be gone. Will that fix the issues?
