okay uhh how do i add a shield to a biped? I'm thinking of putting some shielded buggers into my work and also is it possible to make an odst-style shield/stamina?

and ODST style shield is basically a shield that takes damage like flesh, right? Just adjust the damage modifiers.

Oh yeah, I tried to do that when I had lumoria drones. I tried to put shields on the drones. It worked, but looked terrible. I asked about putting shields on biped once
Here is what Gamma927 said:
"For visible shields:

1) At the top, under modifiers shader, specify "characters\cyborg\shaders\shield"
2) Under export to functions, under an available dropdown box, set it to recent shield damage. For now, I'll assume that you used A in. If you used something else, rather than using A in in the following steps, use whatever you used.
3) Create a new function. Make it scale the function by A in, map to "very early", set the bounds mode to "clip", and name it shield glow source.
4) Modify the model collision geometry to show a shield depleted effect, and to set its vitality."

For invisible shields?
