Hey guys i was wandering if it was possible and how it could be done. Is it possible so you can make it when you right click while holding the energy sword you could block with it so like if some one is lunging towards you you could block it and would take no damage?

not unless its also a shield, and lunging looks weird, just go play sanctuary, you will see what I mean

Actually i have seen a lunge that isn't really bad but i can't remember which map it was on. There are some good lunges out there though. But isn't it just how the animation is set up?

Sanctuary's Lunge was bad cause it didnt sync if they got it to sync then you could dodge it. but in this case you could block it.

the day someone can sync swords, there should be synced doors, dual wielding and destructible vehicles

You can't block it. The way the lunge works, to the best of my knowledge, is it fires a projectile that does damage, like any other gun. The only difference, is that when you hit something, it'll reflect off and hit you, then creating a damage effect that propels the player forward. The "lunge" isn't synced with the damage, as the damage can be caused at times when the lunge doesn't occur.

I think I understand that, so this is NOT possible?

After reading it, you decide whether it's possible or not.

ok what about if there is no lunge just a basic melee attack.

Do you think you can block melees?

idk. I was thinking maybe make a script and animation for it so like your basicaly invincable for 2 seconds or so.

Setting aside whether your idea is possible or not (highly doubt it's possible), wouldn't people abuse it?

maybe take the one from Reach City and make it bounce off someone when they both melee at the same time?

Yeah i was thinking people would abuse it. thats why i was thinking make it have a over heat efect. like they cant just hold it down eventualy the sword would go down and stop blocking.

Halo 3 didnt have that

Halo 3 didn't have nuke longswords either.

Auctually , Syncing online scenery and moving doors has already been done , it's called Yoyorast Island v 2.

hey everybody listen to me becuase i have a valid point that should be listened to, so listen to me ok? ok great here i go

kirby released a wieldable jackal shield a while back that would actually block bullets. this is the link:
http://hce.halomaps.org/index.cfm?fid=2807

the sword lunges by firing an invisible projectile at whatever its aimed at, and if it hits a player, it causes a damage effect that causes the sword guy to lunge. what if you used the jackal shield blocking idea on the sword so it would block that invisible projectile?

the seeds have been planted. i let you guys figure out the rest

No, That's a device.

It's been known for quite some while that we can make the gun not take damage by editing the collision model, maybe some flaw by bungie that it can kill me if someone *coughloljessecough* shoots me on my sniper barrel...

anyhow, that would mean that you would have to edit the 3p model, now we know that zteam made correct h2 sword anims for 3p, but you would have to add a shielding animation to it.

now, you also have to edit the sword model in 3p because the sword is too thin, and aiming at every other bodypart is going to kill you anyway, so what do we do?
we add the jackel shield to the 3p model, with invisable shaders, solved

so, the second trigger should fire nothing contiously so it triggers the secondary fire (shielding) animation

thar, we've done it!
but im too lazy to do it right now, maybe later
