in gow and gow2 there is a poplar weapons called the lancer. (the one with the chainsaw bayonet) wich i love to use on locust enemies by cutting them in half and blood spurting for thier bodies unto your screen. and what my question is: is it possible to make it so if a elite for example (shield is depleted) was to run towards me at melee range but is dont melee him instead i continue to shoot the elite. would it be possible to make blood from the elite's body o unto your screen. i really dont care if it cant sync coz im making it for a single player map. i just want to know if it's possible and if someone could tell me how to do it? Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! =)

thats a good idea. but thats not what im asking. im asking is it possible to make blood from an enemies boldy at close range splat all over your screen. like in you were doing a lancer cut or in close range with the gnasher shotgun. or any other way that make blood splat on your screen. and right noew most of you people would think that im a freak as in i enjoy the blod splater. but i just really love extremely gory game that all =)

EDIT: wait with the hammer of dawn it cant fire inside buildings. so theres a flaw with that and doesnt it fire directly down? because it moves all around the sky and depending on your location, is where it will fire and where it fires from the sky. i dont know if its possible to fix these flaws?

if you could do object_attach with a decal, maybe...

i donht think thats possible with a decal.

f you created a blood .scenery, and on biped death had it spawn the scenery, and then do object_attach. Maybe even a .garbage would work, but it would block incoming fire and i dont know if it would work with object_attach.

E: Oh, try a screen_flare...

how do i make a screen flare?

guerilla->tags->lens flare->large explosion.lens_flare

enjoy...

If I were you, I would change the bitmap to a blood bitmap and and make the tint red,and see if you can extend the time period.

ok so i know how to make a screen flare. but how do i apply it to my bipeds? so when i shoot them from close range; it makes the blood go on my screen?

that didnt work for me ive been fiddling with it all week and its still not working :\

how do i apply the screenflare to my bipeds?

it will be a script most likely. Maybe 'if a biped dies within a very close proximity to the player it will cause a screen-flare for them'. But that would mean any death within that range gives off blood. Still I think that would be cool.

ok. do u know the script? and i just finish making it for the grunt (just so you guys all know its for a single player map) and i dont know how to set a timer for it, as in how long the bloods stays on your screen. and for a fade out effect(faing out is not necessary though)

EDIT: ill post pics on what its like after a make it for a grunt =)

wait, do you have any experience in scripting? Also, I'll try to find the commands and all. You'll have to brush up the edges.

yeah i have had quite a bit of experience in scripting but i only know the scripts from the scripting bible.

try looking at the flash bang tags.

I cant find anything for biped proximity. Sorry.

make bloodsplat projectiles, and have them stick like the plasma grenade does. Lots of short range projectiles. In a body destroyed effect or something.

ok ill try what bobbysoon said. but im not really sure on how to do it. ill try playing with the destroyed effect for the floodcarrier and make no damage effects but only one unanswered question comes to mind: how would i make it have a timer on how long it stays on your screen?
