i like how "akimbo" is becoming the new term for duel wielding just because thats what mw2 calls it

Ive been using that term ever since I went bullet time in Max Payne.

Actually, there was an achievement in L4D called "Akimbo Assassin," and the credentials were that you could only use pistols, and Left 4 Dead came out before mw2 :smug:

Anyway, if anyone would be kind enough to send me a death barrier script, I can upload the Public Beta.

an idea for you, it seemed well to work in halo 3 ODST, is to let us free roam, and after every few waves restock ammo. restocking can simply be added in via scripting. But i forgot the script for the death barrier

I have a restocking ammo script in place.

(sleep_until (volume_test_objects death (players))15)
(unit_kill (unit (list_get (players) 0)))

just remembered

mines for more than 1 trigger volume.... :]

all you had to do was add more volumes, i didn't know he needed a certain amount

i also added 1 extra command... "or" it means the player has to do only 1 of these things. In this case it's entering triggers. the only advantage in this scenario, is if he wants to have a curve effect with the triggers. instead of just 1 barrier at the front...

and Corrupt, if you want me to make it have a 3 second timer on it and if the player is still in the trigger after the 3 seconds, to kill. or do you want me to let you have my or KingNick220's evil script with no timer?

Check your PMs for my AWOL script. Gives you five seconds to gtfo the danger area, unless you have a death wish :]

I'm sure people will learn after the first few tires to escape C:<
I might not add barriers in the final, but that's only because the final will have a LOT more stuff than the beta.

ha ha gamma owned you, gamma's script is better too

Just sent PM. Sorry for the delay, as I'm eating. The one I sent only works for 3 seconds, but I'm sure you can copy and paste.

what is this copy and paste you speak of? I actually review scripts people send to me so I can understand how they work and use them later.

...you copy and paste a new block for a new second. The HUD message part is repetitive, but since I have no clue how to get arrays to work in scripting, I'll have to make do with creating a new if clause for every new second. And yes, I'm a very ugly scripter, as I don't optimize most of what I write.

I meant that I try to understand scripts before I use them, in order to modify them for playability purposes to make the map as enjoyable and to it's fullest extent of fun (or as much so as I can make it) for the player. Otherwise, what's the point of playing the map?

To mindlessly kill enemies until a certain someone bugs you to write your lit essay that's due in fifteen hours.

I want a public beta soon,looks fun :)

you can't haz =O
/sarcasm, of course.

akimbo is an art of the hands. its been around alot longer than mw2. im just saying that everyone refers to duel wielding pistol as akimbo.

stop basing your knowledge on videogames.

I dunno man, video games have taught me a lot more than you'd probably think.

And assuredly a lot less than you should know.

Knowledge is power C:

Beta should be released before christmas, I just need a few more scripts:
A script that prevents you from moving at the end of the level.
And a script that fades your view to black.

Why, I might just have said update...
I uploaded the public beta to the site, so it'll be up next time Dennis updates.
However, I've already given it some MAJOR updates that aren't included in the current beta:
Beta has 10 waves, final will have 30.
Added more weapons.
Added a beginning cutscene.
Put in some ammo and checkpoints.

On to the different wave types (only the boss and normal wave types are included in the current beta:)
- Normal wave: Standard Covenant foot soldiers; progressively get harder and more numerous.
- Boss wave: A wave including a type of Boss (such as a hunter or zealot) and a few backup enemies.
- Vehicle wave: Enemies get in vehicles and on turrets. This will be the only part of the map that will deviate a bit from the original combat evolved tagset. Also, anti-vehicular weapons, turrets, and UNSC vehicles will spawn at your base for these waves only.
- Flood wave: Rather than fight the covenant, you'll be fighting a LOT of flood. These waves are few in number, but will ultimately test your skill.

I'm working on a little ViDoc/video right now, so please be patient.

No, AI can't climb ladders.

And doesn't modding the Halo 1 Pistol defeat the purpose of retaining the Halo PC feel?

Beta tomorrow.

Indeed.
Opinions?

Not gammas, but almost as good.

I haven't even played it yet, but it's probably catered more to gameplay than mine. I'm sure l0d3x would agree that mine was more of a test map based on the points system rather than an engaging and exciting map.

Ok, A little less intense then b40 but it trades taht off to a measured gameplay.

It was ok. But what was with the rocket launcher

Ah, so you found the easter egg ^^
I forgot to add ammo, though :P
Anyways, when the final is out, it might not be as good as b40, but I can guarantee it will be better than Rio_firefight!

That's it, i'm going to call Onotix.

You can't. He got his phone unplugged.
