5 Fighters

[AlliedArmour]

Fulfilling Meteorite's (helf) request. I built these 5 weapons a while ago. Sorry about the mistake Meteorite, I had 4 tanks and 1 artillery gun.

You all will probably think I'm nuts on polls because this is my third, but I'm not

[Hannibal]

whooooo, those are cool!

meteorite, plz put those in you map...what if you got laser or gm and sat on top of one of those and camped, then it would seem like the tank is shooting at you, or you could have world weapons coming from the guns...

[AlliedArmour]

Yup - the barrels are hollow so that you could put a WW in them. They are easily positionable(because they're grouped). Glad you like them!

[trepan]

Tip: you can actually place WW's inside of objects if they are far enough from
the objects walls. WW shots are actually "started" a little bit behind the specified
location, so that may lead to some confusion. Try placing one in the middle of a
5x5x5 box and moving it around to get a better feel for it.

This unintuitive behaviour can not be changed until the next protocol breakage.

[AlliedArmour]

You mean a WW can fire out of solid objects? A WW could be placed inside one of my barrels because they're hollow - but would that have a problem because the barrels are kinda smallish?

[Rebel Chik0rita]

i think they are all neet =)

gj!

[AlliedArmour]

Thank you! I thought they wouldn't be very well liked because I didn't think much of them myself.

[AlliedArmour]

I'm awfully sorry about this - a textuing mistake. I accidentally gave the "small desert one"(which should be "square desert one") a green camo. Here are the fixed screenies and map.

[Guest]

Nice... I like 'em. Can we map-makers use them on our maps, with you'r permission?

[AlliedArmour]

Sure! I'd love you to. Glad you like them. Would you mind telling me when you do so that I can see them in use? Thanx.





To myself: never expected this

[Guest]

Sure... If I do, which I might. (not for a while though, I have started about 4 maps that I really need to finish. )

[AlliedArmour]

Thanx, I'll be looking forward to that!

[A Meteorite]

Wow, great job! I just so happening to be working on my Battlefield map... pfftt... can I use them?

[AlliedArmour]

Thanx and Help yourself! As I said - I'd love you to. I'm really glad you saw them as it was you that put me onto posting these.

One question: How do I scale them? They're a little big and would like to make smaller.

[AlliedArmour]

They are all grouped. Look at the bottom of the map and you'll see what I mean. Use the scale command in the group definition. There will be 5 groups under "Implementation". Green. Desert, Cavo, BZFire, and Artillery.

[A Meteorite]

Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

group Artillery
	shift 70.0 150.0 0
	scale 1 1 1
	matref GreyCamo
end

How do I scale it right? I can see it when it's not scaled only.

[AlliedArmour]

To scale it to half size:

Code: Select all

group Artillery 
   shift 70.0 150.0 0 
   scale .5 .5 .5
   matref GreyCamo 
end

[A Meteorite]

Ah, I get it now! Onward tanks! [stay tuned for Battlefield: Chaos with an artillery gun] Thanks!

[AlliedArmour]

Sounds great! I'll be looking out.

[A Meteorite]

Alright one more request: Can you make one already with a world weapon coming out of the artillery gun? Can't get the positioning right...

[AlliedArmour]

I'll give it a shot.

[A Meteorite]

OK, but I'm getting close with positioning... if not you can try to.

[A Meteorite]

Yay! I got it working! Now is there any other ww except GM? Like a regular shot.

[AlliedArmour]

I was just getting pretty close to getting it right! Thanx for telling me you had got it. And yes - any weapon in BZFlag.

Leave out type for a standard shot, set type to L for laser, SW for shockwave, SB for superbullet, etc.

HTH and keep it up Meteorite!
Please tell me when you're done
