Hi
I'm looking for WORKING bubbleshield and tripmine tags. Anyone knows where to find those?

They have been developed, but they are currently only for private teams. I could explain how they work for you though, if you'd like.

why aren't they public? It is a community right?

well anyway I would like to know gamma. I know the tripmine sends out projectiles all around. that about all I know about their working in halo ce.

Trip mine, yes, fires out projectiles in a 360 arc around the model, which when impacts on cyborg, elite, grunt, marine, jackal, hunter, w/e, flesh, it'll detonate. The projectiles only have a very short range (0.5 to 1 world unit).

This is not, to say the least, the best community.

I think I got myself an bubbleshield! 100% complete! Only it acts like weapon, I tought a nade would be easyer. Meaning might put it under granades (right click) insteat of weapons (left click). Now the trip mine I haven't got. Can anyone help me make one? Anyone want's to model one? Anyone knows where to find one or an map that has one?

I tought that would be a problem. Can't we script in more? like 4 different granades? Otherwise I leave it like this. And now only the tripmine remains missing. I know there are poeple who atleast started building one. I wouldn't be supprized if there where some around. Only, where?

afaik, it's impossible to have 4 grenades, even with scripting. There are trip mines around, but most of them, as Gamma said, are private, or still WIP.

I could provide you with the model and textures, but I'd rather not release my animations, as they look extremely crappy and need to be redone. Mythie's the one who did the tagging, so I don't have that either.

Ignore the FP shield effect.

Man that looks GREAT!!! I just found an mine on halomaps that might even works but looks like crap. please share the model and textures whit me! I see what I can make whit it. PLEASE!


Edit:
I have been working on a mine and I just succesfully created one! Now i need or have to make are: a hud, animations, particle effect, model and textures

Please gamma provide me your good looking model and textures! Please please please?!
I try to animte it the hud wont be that hard I think particle effect... well, no idea how that works... I just see if I can make something up.

Model and bitmap.

Thanks! I ve not gotten them to work yet maybe because i fail to make the collision model but I keep trying. Thanks Gamma!


Edit:
ahh missing the shaders!

h3\equipment\tripmine\shaders\tripmine

Could you please include shaders and collision-geometry for me? I've got a hard time making the collision out of the gbx model whit gbx model importer. Please freel free not to do it if you don't want to ^.^ You helped me a lot so I wouln'd bother. np

i liked the halo reach shield hud

Just make a new shader and put the bitmap in it.
DURR DEE DURRR

Don't fall for Gamma's trap card, his collision sucks. Just make a box roughly the size of the trip mine and export it. Works much, much better, and will prevent much grief when tagging >>

Are you sure sapien wont say the collision model doesn't matches the model? And any nodes? Not needed in the collision model?


EDIT:
Ah so far so good. The shader_model works. I saw the mine in game (only before pickup after isn't assignt to the new model yet) And the model looks good. The nitmap however could have a little more 'taste'. I see if I can do that myself. Also I will still work on the explosion itself. It looks like a ordenary frag granade. The hud depends on the hud of the map so that comes later. The string (during pickup) will also be made. The mine itself works GREAT! But that is the stuff I made myself...

Gamma Thanks for the awsome model!

EDIT:
Ok everything works but there are some small bugs. The mine get's trown and ends up on it's side. kind of weird it looks like it's in the ground. It needs a turn of 90 degrees. I don't know hoew to do this whitout the .max file.
Edited by Niels on Jun 1, 2010 at 11:01 AM


Ok so the excact problem is that wen i trow the mine it ends up on it's side instead of it's buttom. It acts like a granade beïng trown only whit a granade you wouln't notice if it ends up upside down or on it's side. How do I change this angle? I tryed some stuff but I think it alter the wrong angle. Say the top of the mine in current situation points forwart and not up as it should. Now I altear the value 90 degrees it point right. Still not up.

0000hhh n000 I just found out that the walk over the mine mechanism doesn't work. Meaning the biped can't tricker the mine. only explosions and vehicles can! I need to fix this aswell.

AHH Mitril you know excactly what problems I have now!



Did you ever solve these problems? I got all of this now.

You don't want to use my collision, as technically, that's Mythril's collision :P

I haven't bothered learning to make collisions, which is why I mess with fp models.

As for the shaders, it's just a default shader referencing a bitmap, which explains why the model looks so crappy.

Er.... uh... you want me to tell you how to do collision? It's simply the model but with seamless geometry. JMS goes in the physics folder. Tool command is collision-geometry.

Thank you very much kind sir!

Wow, old posts when I used to type

like

this.

But, yes, I did.

My method was a projectile that detonated immediately after firing which spawned a .weapon that was unable to be picked up. A .garbage works as well.

well thats not the problem, I spawn a senery by the way. But the explosinon wen walking over and the angle of the mine when placed somewhere are wrong.

I't simply dosnt explode when walking over so I tought make mc's foots damage the mine but I don't know how exactly to make it work. I want to prevent lag since this is for an multiplayer map.

The angle problem is the same as you dicribed in that old topic.


Edit:

I read an old topic whit my posts in it from when i just joined and I had a hard time to undertand what I meant when posting that. I fiquret it out. (I know miss spelled -.-)
This is that topic:
http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm%3Fpage=topic&topicID=31342

I sugessted the mine wouldn't disapear after killing and after a lot of angry people that didn't understand why that would be I turned out to be right. Now I understand exactly why I was right. They made a mine that killed by sending out projectiles. However I did my homework mutch better and concluded they missed something. The mine doesn't get distroyed.

So here comes how I made my mine basicly (Now all of you will probebly steal my ideas and make your own mines whit it. Please credit me if you do. Comeon man my idea.)

I don't make the mine kill anyone, I make someone kil the mine. And if the mine dies it explodes! HAHA So now I just need a way to make masterchiefs feet kill the mine (but the mine only, otherwise if you jump on someone he get's killed ^.^). Vehicles kill wen they drive over so that's done already nd granades do the same. You simply make it immune to bulleds and you got yourself a tripmine.

I hope you guys understand where I'm stucked now. Mc's feet aren't killing the mine ^.^. It's just an explosion attachment to his feet what I need, I tryed but it doesn't work. Also I'm afraight for lag whit this way of killing a mine. 16 people whit 2 feet make 32 explosions repeating in less than a second all the time.

How about the trip mine contantly creates invisible explosive projectiles? The projectiles would not explode on imapct of the ground or itself, but would for the player. I believe you can set the damage/effect depending on the shader.

well that could work but still I've no clue how to make this. The good thing is this rules out lag problems as long as there are limited mines in the field.


Edit:
In the mean time I got mc's feet to explode. But there is a but ^.^ . They explode wile pressing q ^.^. Apearently masterchief's feet explode when artificial light kicks in ^.^.

I think it has to do whit the A out B out C out stuff in the attachment area of the mc biped tag. I don't know how to use these A out things. I saw whit the functions part that the A out difines flaslight B is something whit shield and C and D idk.

How should I make mc's feet of death explode while walking?

Check this out.



This is the method which Mythril took.
Edited by Gamma927 on Jun 2, 2010 at 06:54 PM

already know about this it uses the exact same methode as I do. I did my homework I know about the army mine but it I need to know how to control the explosions on his feet. currently they went of while pressing q it should went of when walking. It's an effect btw. refering to a damage_effect.

As for your problem, under the Attachments section, in the feet attachments, make sure that the primary scale is set to "none", and it should be constant. Lag is not an issue, as an invisible explosion is just that- invisible. Nothing is being rendered.

It was none before but nothing happens at all when that's the case. No exploding feet.

Odd, I hate working with functions. Try testing it with different A, B, C or D outs.

I did. I can't get his feet to explode while he walks. I tested whit an other .damage_effect to be sure.
