thats the same technique behind bones ragdoll but your making the bone follow the model... example, arm bone rotates to armbox.mdl...

and for anyone missing the point of this thread:


what i basically want is for you guys to submit ideas that you think would be cool for the game or if you have 3dgs and wanna help or trade code, let me know... currently i only have the LITE-C FREE version of 3d gamestudio so as u can see, i'm very limited... dont know wen i'll be getting some cash ready... but until then... oh, ideas i would like to see could fall into :

melee killoffs- killing an enemy at close range via a melee attack
gameplay ideas- anything that you think would suit this gametype... remember, its aimed to be a slightly futurisstic shooter

Cool Things:
A System that allows you to make you World to a weapon!
For example: put a chair in your hand and throw it after your enemy!
or use a gravity gun like in HL² episode one or a Portalgun like in HL²-portal!

Maybe a flyindg Board like in the 1. and 3. Spiderman movie would be cool!

Tuneable Weapons (Ammotype-Change,silencer)

a full destroyable World(Terraindeformations,destroyable buildings)

And my faforite feature in MY Game:
a 2 Player-mode!


Btw you make EXACTLY the same Game, like me! ^^
But my Game is fully in 1st person.
If you want are interested you can look at my Website(in my signature)

But i work with c-Script! ^^


i hope i could help!

mfg BasTi and the IGS-team

the mechanics of 'scion' so far are alot more than displayed by the pics and videos....

i would love to give more info but not at the moment ...

Do you have a cover system?

The Shrike was a good futuristic security combat model that could phase time, grow spikes/thorns, wire and generally dismember all opponants, machinery included or rock.
Terminator nano based bots are similar and both employ close combat so maybe something like hand fighting with teleport and time_phase would be a go?

methods to increase aiming such as this are being thought of, basically trying to avoid making JUST another cover system... check out this thread in which we're having a discussion about it
thread


the game as already been written and this is far from the design doc, its aimed to be as simple as possible and they key focus is on addictive gameplay...

a full destroyable World(Terraindformations,desrtoyable buildings)
Ahhhahha
Dont' ask too much also.
If the games finishes one day , it will be really great !

Hi, I saw your description of the character and made this (crappy) sketch.

You can use it if you want, I was just trying to fit the style you wanted.
Cheers,
Ryan.

sorry i took so long to rely guys..


@sebbi: ode physics engine is rather unstable especially since i make immense use of it, its perfect when you have fewer physics models onscreen but i'm working at it.. destruction is indeed planned, but i have to find a way to stabilize it, i know about newton but am not that advanced yet

@ryangregory: love the sketch, i might try and use it... its definately the style, even the gun, guns will be a little bigger though .... this is to exaggerate them since its a gun game and that where i want the focus.. i also see the blade... perfect... hope i can get help from someone to model it ....

and to everyone else, i made a quick vid of the work in progress of the ragdolls... i'm 90+ percent complete, i'm just trying to get the blending better so you will see not skipping when a model is killed from whatever animation state it is in ...
