Need Scripter and a couple tips (First Add-on) Model help needed too

[herzfeld2]

Well, I have been playing Blockland for a good amount of time, and I recently decided I would try out things like Torquescript and even modeling. I made a model, using Sketchup pro 7 (a $500 program that I got for free) and I made a Halo plasma pistol. Don't get me wrong, I just felt that I had to make a plasma pistol. I am not one of those people who make their blockland name mastur cheef. My BL name is Slayer by the way...Anyway. I wanted to make a model... (my first)

So I did.

My model is OK, and now I want tips, and because I'm much too new to script something like this, I would REALLY appreciate somebody helping make a script that has the gun become more powerful the longer you hold down the mouse. Also, if someone does do this and goes even fancier to make a overheat system, I will gladly create an animation. But for now I want to know what people think. So, think away!   

Oh yeah and whoever does script (if ever) may cookies rain upon thou shoulders.

I'm guessing you got Sketchup from some student license or program since piracy is forbidden. I'd try helping but I'm busy with non BL stuff right now :(

I'd love to zoom in on that picture but you used imageshack and I guess my hosts file doesn't like the website since I'm never able to view photos from it. It looks nice from the preview.

Good news, went over to photobucket and also got a new screenshot...gosh I never realized how hard it is to create them, especially with microsoft paint, makes me want to delete it... Anyway

:o this one is at a side angle, kinda crappy resolution in my opinion, and also all those lines you see are supposed to be there, I will take out when I do not need them any more.

Old news just now you can get a better look ;3

It's pretty nice, I would try to script it but I'm not good enough at scripting to figure out the overheating and more damage if you hold it down.

[herzfeld2]

Littledude I was thinking about that for a long time, and then I played a DeathMatch on Dippindots server (Dippin Has epic skillz in which nobody that I know can possibly surpass, or even imagine of having the skill to mid air no scope headshot with a scrappy pistol. No one.) and he had everyone start with a gun called the mp7. I used the left mouse button to shoot, and then after many kills later I learned the right mouse button shoots a small grenade.

This "Plasma Pistol" could do almost exactly that. When you hold down the left mouse button it will continuously shoot small shots with not too much damage per shot. Like maybe 15-25 and I say to 25 because I might make this gun a power weapon but I probably wont. And then to be realistic, when you press the right mouse button, it will shoot a large blast that will inflict exactly 99 damage. Just like Halo, it will not be a one hit kill, but if the enemy is damaged then they will be killed. When you press the right mouse button, it will shoot this large blast, and then it will begin a reload sequence of the green ring blinking red and the gun moving in front of you face and the top of the gun opens to let out the extreme heat of the charge. Just like Halo.

Looking ahead, I wont make something so incredibly unoriginal and (I hope no-one steals...) a incendiary grenade, like a HE grenade but it will burn and slowly kill. :D And then I might go crazy and make a razor blade launcher, Hehe kinda intense but...

Whew long post, but I'm a talkative person so... Yeah XD

NEW SCREENY! :D


In this photo I  show the 3D detail of the pistol, even though there is not much. XD (Me, I love Photobucket :3)

[herzfeld2]

Ok, now that I have decided to make this thing a bit by myself, I turned it into a Google earth object, then changed the end to .zip, and then from there extracted the .DAE from the folder. I imported to blender, saved, fixed up, and then exported into a .DTS. Then I went back to Sketchup and took all the textures from the "In Model" Section and then changed the endings to .zip also, then took out the .PNG's and made a Weapon_PlasmaPistol folder in blockland add-ons. I then copy pasted the whole gun folder's internals and then replaced the Gun.dts with the Plasma Pistol and went into the server.CTS and changed that all up to hold the .DTS and then I put in the textures, and from there it seemed pretty smooth, until I loaded into blockland, and the Plasma Pistol only consists of White, Light Grey, and Dark Grey. No deep blue's, no red buttons, just three colors. So, im a bit stumped. And then when I equip the weapon in game, the gun is shown in first person, but the second I go into third, it simply is non-existant. I'm sure this has been a problem for other before, but I am calling all Blockland smart people to help me...

Slayer, this would be a hard thing to script, and I have just started as you know so... probably could get Dark to do it though. =D I would love to try though!

[herzfeld2]

(Bump)

C'mon people! Help a noob modeler, and he will help j00 back! I only ask that somebody fix the color problem and the third person view problem!! I made this Plasma Pistol in about 2 hours, and I enjoyed making it very much...:O

Kinda odd, but, to influence you all, I will create a new model, totally original, and then post it here. THAT WILL GET YOU ALL GOING! :D :D :D
Spam is good
Slayer reporting out!
:D

[herzfeld2]

Ok, I started making this model around 9:30, and now it is 10:47 or a bit more, and I have made this model...



I could change the dark grey into metal and the red an actual cloth surrounding it almost exactly like the military... But it might not be blockland-y enough

[herzfeld2]

GAH HELP MEES! I'll even give a screen shot! :D



Thats what I thought...

[dumdum566]

For the gun script all you need to do if change the damage and the file things so the projectiles look how you want them too and stuff like that.

For the grenade ill pm you if i get anything..if i figure out how to get the fire part working i can piece it all together...
good flame nade model tho

I'm assuming what you said here was that it isn't called a plasma pistol but instead a plasma rifle.
If that is what you are saying then you are wrong.
The plasma rifle is a longer gun, covenant form of a assault rifle, and shoots continually.
The plasma pistol is smaller, the covenant form of a handgun, and doesn't shoot continually.

To everyone, I really just need help with the models not exporting, and the models having troubles in-game, and if I dont really get the help, I dont believe I can keep modeling as there would be no point.
