I'm wondering if there is a way to create a slipspace device machine, like the 'teleportation' one used by 343 Guilty Spark. I would use it for my machinima, but I don't know how to create it. I want the one like in Halo 3 too. I tried experimenting with .effect files but...

(If you have played Halo 3) You know when the Seperatist carriers come out of a wierd wormhole like object? That's 'slipspace'.

Or if you haven't played H3: Basically I'm trying to create a wormhole in the sky that my ships can 'enter' and disappear and then is deleted using devmode.

This is a video of what it looks like (in the first 10 seconds or so)

I have no access to that link, 403 error. Also, why not make a giant...scenery(?)...object that has a teleporter in it and the object has no collision model so the ship can go into it, and teleport the vehicle and you like the portals in Coldsnap?

Well one because I don't have 3DS Max, and two I have no idea what you are talking about...

Well, I don't know much about mapping either....Or effects, or animating, or skinning, or UVW wrapping/unwrapping, or texture making, or modeling, or scripting. Wait for someone else I guess, or look into 343 guilty spark files or something. How do you plan to do this if your 3DS Max is 'broken' and you don't know about anything that I just said that I learned from listening to other people?

Well, I know Coldsnap that's for sure, but are there vehicle teleporters in there? Wow, I must've missed them big time...

Well, in both bases, there's big boxes that can warthogs can perfectly fit into, and it has the green effect on it. It takes about 2 seconds to teleport.

The ONLY way to get vehicles out of bases is via vehicle teleporters...


so yes...


You Missed Them BIG Time.

I know what he means. Slipspace translates to subspace to me. Basically a wormhole.

I am not going into details on the false science of subspace though ;-)
