Advanced Mech Playertype - In-Game Photos [WIP #6]!

[BluetoothBoy]

Actually, yes. BlockAlpha got back to me and answered a few questions I had about playertypes, so all should be good now. Work can continue. :)

Well, yeah, it'll be a playertype vehicle, so the player will simply sit inside. That was to be expected. However, for people outside, it won't matter, because the windshield will be opaque, not see-through.

Also, with a neat coding trick, I'm going to make the right click usable for secondary weapons by making the client's control object the mech itself.

I assume you either get out by pressing the light key or by holding right click or something then?

I think Blue means it's a playertype in-staid of a vehicle you jump in.

It may just be a command if I decide to use the light key for something, but otherwise it'll just be the light key, yeah.

No, it will be a vehicle. By default, it'll also be a playertype.

Give it miniguns under the rocket pods please.

and maybe a lazer gun under the roosterpit

I like it, it reminds me of ED-209 from Robocop, the Original, not the remake...though it sort of also resembles the new one...


Are you going to make more once you make this one?

Command is not as fast and useful as a key press, but then again, you could add a keybind for it.
But then it would be only easily accessible for people with the mod, even when you also leave the command in.
Just my view on it however. :)
Also, it looks nice so far.

Sorry, not taking requests. Also, that's sort of overkill - it already has dual machine guns.

I hope to, if this one goes well.

True. However, I am trying to make this semi-realistic, and dismounting in real life wouldn't exactly be that fast anyway.

No miniguns, I think the lazers would be fine. But yeah.. But what kind of lazer?

[ZERØ]

A single chargeable lazer that depending on how long you hold the click, its damage increases.

[Kishgal]

No, it will be a vehicle. By default, it'll also be a playertype.

if it's a vehicle, exiting will be done with the right mouse button, i don't think anyone has ever found a way to really change that

Pretty sure I can just override it with an unparented function in a package. I mean, lordician didn't even say anything about it, so...

[BluetoothBoy]

Good news, guys! While I don't have all of the animations done yet, I do have the main ones done (running, sidestepping, etc) and working in-game. Coloring has begun (and coincidentally also almost finished).

[MTrRxx]

Badass. That is all I can say about that color scheme. Badass.


Edit:Oh it also apears to be Spec-Ops material.

[Dannu]

Very nice job. 10/10 can't wait
