Load them onto the head piece?

And yeeeees, headcrabs that actually convert people! One of the few things that saddens me about HL2 is how that doesn't happen

If it shot units that were actually units (ie they could fire whilst in flight) that would be +100000 badass

It's looking like the Tyranids, ST bugs and giant insects have formed a 'let's just eat everything' coalition. Hooo boy will this end well.

We're such a nice, friendly and helpful community...

...:D

Starship Troopers?

Everything that happens should be "there." ie should there ever be a slow firing cruise missle thing (example) it will not have a reload progress bar. Instead it will have a reload animation. Whilst this is a nice idea... you might want to lay off on the 'animate everything' until you've ...

SOMEONE MAKE A MOD FOR THIS.

*joins in the 'I had that carpet' movement*

To be fair, having to zoom in on an individual target to aim for the treads / turret / whatever would be a bit of a bitch in large-scale engagements anyway; better implemented as a 'aim for turret / body' option in the attacking unit (kinda like hold fire and movestates etc) I'd've thought. Or at l...

Would it be possible to make an exporter script or say, 3ds max, that generates a text file with all the rotation information of the keyframes in max? Then you could just paste that into the code for the unit. Then again, I'm no programmer, so I don't know how hard that would be, or if its possible...

It's... detailed KaiserJ, but it's kinda lacking any large landmarks (ie doors, sensor arrays, large factory chimney whatsits etc) to make it clear what the structure is for. A lot of the detail falls to noise because we can't tell what it is; it's at the moment a large collection of shapes.

It's more that it's the first tank I've ever seen that looks possible to tip over.

It hasn't collapsed from weight distribution problems because the laws of physics are too busy diving for cover :D

Tired of having long-reload, high damage units snipe the first scout they see, I'm trying to devise a cleverer way for sniping units to behave on the 'automatic targetting' front (ie auto-attacking in-range enemies, as opposed to player-ordered targets). Current idea is like this: Target enters sigh...

...Forboding you have the patience of a saint. That's all I'll say.

It's a camper van.

Guessmyname was suggesting to use non-blocking children so that the per-piece hit volumes on the 'parent' unit would intercept weapons, not the children. There was an issue with air transports that made targeting transported children very unreliable, though I think that problem was either much alle...

There was a widget which would detect which of the 3 was being moused over and highlight the corresponding piece of the model (a fairly trivial modification of the highlightUnit widget) in order to give a visual aid to targetting - this is basically all that my first video showed. As an aside; You ...

I... believe Flozi managed something, though how is beyond me and there were a few hitsphere issues (ie hits to the turret registering as hits to the body due to it's larger hitsphere etc). You'd have to ask him about it. You can also 'fake' this with unit scripting (ie using the HitByWeapon script,...
