Doing a big mod, and need some cogs...
2004-07-08, 1:25 PM #1
I've been at this for one whole year now, and I just don't get it, I can program PB, GML, and Basic, but I can't understand this. Any how, I need two, or probably just one cog, depends. I need to have saber trails, one hit killing sabre, deactivation of the autoblock, and have a blocking system like the one in Return Of The King mod, I'll do the rest even animation. About the blocking system, its a key that you push it plays a blocking animation, but, if something is coming towards you, depending on the direction it will block it, lightsabres and bolts ONLY.
The reward:
Full credit
Off hand invitation to join my new clan as council member.
The right to test the Episode III lightsabre duel between Anikan and Obiwan, and even videos are included in it.
The ability to beta test this mod.

Chow, and please hurry.

Just a note, saber locks in JK are almost impossible. *note the almost* Somebody tried making saber locks in JK but I don't know how far they got on it or if they ever got it to work.

For saber trails, look at SBX, pretty much all it does is change the weapon model while swinging. For the one hit kill saber you could edit the template that JK used for the weapon (+gamaxe IIRC) to give maxdamage and mindamage of 500 or something.

And what of the blocking system, any conclusions to that?
EDIT:Who is this someone?

The saber doesn't use a template/projectile to do damage. jkEnableSaber(player, 50, 0.15, 0.25); is what sets the damage done on contact. The number 50, is the amount of saber damage. 0.15 is the length of the blade, and 0.25 has something to do with how long the blade is active/how long before it can do damage again.

Now I know why it didn't work.

Umm just keeping this topic alive for a solution of the blocking system thing.

It's basically a question on when to activate the autoblock mode. JK's blocking system is not cog controlled, but you can decide when to activate it. Try the below cog, it changes the secondary fire mode of the saber into a "block awareness" mode, where kyle is ready to block incoming bolts. If you don't hold secondary fire, incoming shots will not be blocked. I know, it's not exactly what you want, but it should show you the right direction:
