is there any way i can make a surface collide with bullets and projectiles but not with bipeds? like a force field

You mean like a Shield Door on Halo 3?

yeah. something like that

Well I have seen a water shader do this. I found it in the crappy bubble shield in the leaked map, asgard... it ALSO gave me an idea for bump-mapping stuff, but that's offtopic.

Maybe you should look at that shield and try to come up with something.

but isnt that the collisoin model?

Ya, when bullets hit water (well, not MY water. Grrr), they make a splash. The shader under the water make a splash, but I swear some water does it by itself. You might be able to mess around with that. If not, scripting perhaps. Perhaps you could set up an unoticable tellaporter system where if you touch the wall, you get telleported to the other side but it's so small you don't notice. Or maby there's some syrface in the game that does it that no one thought of using.

garbage

Use a .garbage tag. No, I'm not pulling your leg. A garbage tag you can walk through and drive through, but bullets are stopped.

darn, advancebo beat me to it XD.

Yeah but he was pretty vague about it.

what is a garbage tag used for exactly? why did bungie put it in gurilla? and has it been used in other maps?

No use that I know of, maybe they knew we wanted to make bubble shields =)

dead bodies area automatically converted to garbage. and broken pieces of a vehicle are garbage

so how would i place a garbage force feild in sapien?

u cant place a garbage tag, u place a scenery tag that has a garbage tag effect as an attachement

Ah, yes of course! Bodies are non collidable but you still shoo them and blood comes out! Now how to apply that mechanic to a shield door...

It's in the material type. Blood comes out because of particles when a bullet hits elite flesh or something like that. You could make it so that hunter blood comes spurting out of the shield door when it's hit if you wanted.

I think if you used a biped that doesn't collide with other bipeds, it'd stop projectiles, and you could walk thrue it. Vehicles would move it, though.

impossible
but u could have a garbage tag, and make it a water material, then change the vehicles effect on water to stop automatically

That works too. Take 343 for example. He had a flag ticked that allowed other bipeds to pass through. But bullets impacted.

well i guess that answers my questions
