Does anyone know how to make it where there is lower gravity in water??? Like they did in Yoyorast Island? I am making a map on a dam and Pre-Alpha should be out soon. (I have already uploaded it, waiting for Dennis to test it). It would be really nice if I could lower the gravity in the water so it would be more realistic. Thanks.

Also, sorry for Double-posting, Dennis, I have a bad habbit of that. Sorry.

Ummm.... Sorry??? Are you serious, or just kidding?

well the whole map was basically tarzans idea, read some topics back and you will see the exact same idea with the dam, the map basically looks the same as tarzans model did

Yeah, actually I did read his topic, but I think someone else asked him if he could and he said it was Ok, so I figured I could. Sorry.

Can I still continue on the map??? (If you say no, I probably will anyway)

Yea... the descendents of that first cave man who piled up some rocks to hold back the water in a stream are going to be real pissed someone took his idea.

The idea for a Dam map is not at all original, the idea has been thrown around alot. There have been several dam maps made that have not been released. It does not matter guys really. Tarzan did not have a patent on the name, he is getting way to carried away with this. Guys just let it go, Tarzan can rename his map easily

haha " me ooog, u take rock from ooog. OOOG SMASH U. HABLAHBLAHBLAH WEE WOO WEE WOO" *caves ur head in* "W00t W00t, hababita"

I agree, it would make me a little mad if someone stole a map name I thought of. I couldn't actually remember what Tarzan's map name was, I just remember him and the idea of the dam.

Can we get back on topic??? I still don't know how to make lower gravity in water.

why dont you make it so that if they are in water, a damage effect happens at their feet every few seconds that pushes up slightly?.. then since it would be ocisounal light lifting, it would just apper to slow falling and increase jumping

(script continuous waterP1
(if (= (volume_test_object water-trig-volume (unit (list_get (players) 0))) 1)
(begin
(effect_new_on_object_marker <effect> (unit (list_get (players) 0)) "left foot")
(sleep 15)
))

just make hte effect target a damage effect, and the damage effect have a force of 0.1 or something (keep messing around untill you find something that seems right, weather you want it so they float on water, or just less gravity (cause realisticly, the armor would either sink just as fast, or would have enough air to float.. lol) you could also mess around with the sleep to set how soon or late it happens (if the floating seems jagdish and the play jerks around as they fell threw the water) currently it is ever half a second :P

I have now just wasted some of my valuble working time lol, I have to get back to some of my projects now :P

Actually, I meant in vehicles mostly, because the deeper part of the water, it kills you.

lol that dam map.lol.

Wait, so what do I do again? just change the <effect> to something like 0.1?

make the effect aim at a effect tag that aims at a damage effect that has a force of something like 0.1

So do I put in the full address? Like <tags\effects\water_damage>?

.. one thing you should learn about how scripts are talked about is that things within <> mean change it (including the <>'s)

Another thing you should learn for using a script like that (a comand that targets a tag, marker, seat, or any other thing that could have a space in it) should have ""s around it, like (objects_attach (unit (list_get (players) 0)) "left foot" (unit (list_get (players) 1)) "right foot")

and targeting things is defaultly in the tag folder.. lol "characters\jackal\effects\shield depletion" ect

Yeah, I do know HTML a little, but I never tried scripting in Halo, I just use EHS.

ehh easy enough. definatly makes life alot esier ill tell ya that much

Ohhh, never mind, I just realized it does it automaticly with fog planes, that is what I was talking about in Yoyorast Island.
