if you can help me by doing something like making a model send me a PM or post here..

so far the tank only fires the laser im hoping to add a custom model with a charging effect, if you can teach me how to make the charging effect, i will be very greatful.

PS: Yes there was a topic based around this already but i cannot post there anymore because i lost track of it.

ENJOY!

so you want a tank with a laser as the main cannon?

I think i can make that for ya if ya like/

ive already got the basic laser firing effect all i need is a custom model and to modify the firing effect a little more

EDIT::
I have created a possible charging effect and am now testing it out ill get back to you when im done

illl be fine modeling
and you can use the effect from the splazer tags.

tried using the weapon tag but modifying the tags didnt seem to work... the tank was comepletely disarmed

I'm thinking a strong sentinel beam would be more effective.

im trying to make it a human design without using tech from other races the spartan laser is my basis for this im still working on the charging effect but the last test completely disabled the tank's weapons systems.

Wow this totaly reminds me of the Splazer Hog. Just whenever doing it make the canon look a like it actualy fires lazer rounds, just dont make it fire lazers using the normal scorpion model.

so you want me to make the god damned model or not.

this should be an all new custom made weapon not a tank with a spartan lazer(although its basically works like one) ill work up some concept drawings

yes make the model id like the barrel to glow red so that it lights up one second and dims the next

the glow is with nodes and markers, not sure how to do those wel and stuff, but il make the model.

Just give me credit when you release. k?

of course.. im not greedy

found the thread lol

we don't need a laser scorpion, WE NEED A GRIZZLY

FTFY

fixed it even better

Out of all the designs, I like the first one the best :3

so that design is suppose to walk like a insect do you guys think i should give it a turret as a secondary fire(our based off of any other human weapons(gernade launcher sounds cool)?
since it does has a laser i think it should be something balanced

ill work up on a more detailed art design

though solo requested for help i think ultimately he should decide

The first one is supposed to walk? :O

I thought the treads on the tips meant that it was using them as treads, not as actual "feet" :x

itll be weird to animate that way though
nothings final these are like alpha designs
if the community wants we can make a cool splazer tank so keep the suggestions coming xD

Before i start posting my take on the new ideas i have ill say this; I am back and going back to work on this. we need someone to help me set the tank to charge before it fires like a regular spartan laser. and a model for it.

Maybe one that still looks relatively the same as a tank main changes being in the area of the main gun. Red Pulsating Lights along the sides of the barrel to make it seem like the laser is being stored in the barrel itself. and the customary UNSC Designations on the sides of the thing eg, UNSC M890 LBT "Laser Battle Tank". The gun is going to need someone to model rig animate tag texturise and all that.

If at all possible id like to make it have seperate gun turrets on the front left and right for some players to sit in and fire at enemies from as a point defense area. The tank's secondary weapon should be the equivalent of the 3 Barreled chaingun on the Warthogs.

Once we get all the work done we will release it as quickly as possible and use it in the map that is going into developement Alpha Base.

The reason i decided to go back to work on this, is because i don't want to leave it unfinished.

So come on guys lets get to work this is a COMMUNITY project.
