Author Topic: Portal-Style Turrets  (Read 1249 times)

Well, Space Guy did a fantastic job redoing the Portal gun for v9, and now we move onto a greater task: How are we ever going to make our turrets? Now, I know we can use 'events', but if I make a Portal challenge, I want an authentic look. I've seen, Packer's was it?, a portal turret in the gallery. With v9's new abilities, would it be possiable to make a bot-like vehicle with this model that will make an opening noise, have an opening animation and say something, and begin shooting? It can be spawned using events, and when hit a few times, will stop working?

I hope this is possible, because making these spawn with events would be easy without different vehicle spawns :D Hope someone gets this done.

yesh...spawn it via vehicle brick  (preferably the small one named zombie spawn)  , but how will you get it to stop shooting when it falls down?

It's all in the script. It could be like doors and have it's own set of events like 'OnTurretDeath' or something.


Static Model Brick?
bricks dont talk shoot laser pointers that move to aim at you, or fall over

Static Model Brick?
Vehicle type bot or something with advance scripting like the doors, but shoots.

Bump because I want to know if this would work.

it would have to be a Physic Bot

.... phyiscs bot then it have to be like the jeep or something

The model Packer made didn't seem to work with my script, since I couldn't get the laser to emit from the 'eye' point.
