SWEET! I must implement this

Um... no offense, you guys... but BOS doesn't require that we understand French...

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 15 Jul 2006, 08:08

Yes but I don't think he was asking about just any BOS. He wanted a specific BOS and we're having a hard time trying to figure out what exactly it's supposed to do. I could make a flying mex that does the hokey-pokey but I don't think he'd want that.

What if the rest of us what that though, mm flying mex + hokey pokey.

Yes.. somewhat

1. He wants a acript that will randomize a units between several modles/texture/weapons. Currently possible but it rquires a modle that contains EVERY combonation fused together then using show/hide ect. Would be waaay easier if some metomorphisis script function was added.

2. Im not sure I totaly understand why the color is red, but he wants a shield that will somtimes malfunction, allowing the projectile/laser/ect to pass through unblocked. Not sure of this is possible atm but possibly (not really a scripter).

3. rotateable weapons, like the low/high raj but more versital so you can change between a large number of weapons. I have no idea if this is possible or not. (Although I highly suspect at least that level of user control input to change the weapons is probboly not possible)

I THINK this is what hes talking about

EMANUEL.... YOU CAN UNDERSTAND THIS:

KDR_11k · Post by **KDR_11k** » 15 Jul 2006, 21:58

Hunter:

1. Pretty easy, my drones use a common .bos, currently I'm using #define commands to turn the script intpo the specific drone but I think I could build a script that stores its drone type in a variable and assigns that a value depending on a random number.

2. Give the unit two shields, one is visible but does nothing (no repulse, power 1), the other is invisible and does the actual blocking but it gets toggled on and off through the script (since I have no idea how to toggle those I'm not sure you can toggle them individually) at random intervals.

3. Give it an on/off button and each time that button is pressed the "activeweapon" counter is increased by one (cycles upon reaching maximum). The on/off state wouldn't matter.

He can implement that himself.

Only reason I mention the meta idea for the first one is, your drones use the same body and switch diff weps. He wants a unit that has 10 modles, 10 texture, and possible that many weapons as well, that means the full model would contain 100-1000 units and who the hell knows how many parts. Making 10 models that have randomtextures and weapons and having a metamorph function would be easier to do imo

Emmaneul: come read this since we think we figured your scripts out =P

emmanuel · Post by **emmanuel** » 16 Jul 2006, 00:06

yes you say true

fire crack a10=you understand good

the units have many excedent parts=
10 texturednumber and 2 hull and 2 turet but only 1 will visible

same in cnc whise upgradable
for upgraded weapons it s easy
the first part of the script use weapon1 the second weapon2
=with taspring 64upgrad seems possibl=

all this are report of existing scripts for total annihilation

another great unsed fonction is the nuclear lauchner where the missile erect and will be unvisible when fire
=many unit can have a visible rocket but noone realased

sure i can script myself
...when i will know scripting
=is for this cause i ask to you to report
=for know all possibilitys of the script fonctions

exemple is possible for a structure to move itself?
maybe the onoff can command mobility?

(don t understand the picture omggtfo smoth)

I speak both english and french, yet can't understand emmanuel!

However, thanks to my vast TA knownledge, I gathered that he's describing the greyhound, and old TA unit with a randomly generated two digit number painted on the side, and that gets born as a champion (better armor, better weapon, radar, etc..), 1/5 of the time.

From that I guessed that the question he was asking was "Can you list all the amazing scripts you've ever found?". To which my answer is simple: All the units I scripted!
