Do you think there's a way to use this same principal to make a grappling hook (a weapon that would pull you toward an object, rather than the other way around)?

I would guess you could make the proj that brings the object towards you, come from behind you instead? blowing you forward... ive havent actually looked at the map yet so its just speculation..

Yeah, I was tired and didn't really think before I asked that question. Of course it wouldn't work for a grappling hook. Too bad, though.

Yea, I've always wanted a grappling hook/tractor beam like in shogo

K, I applied this earlier, and the map was loading, but the timer got down to 0, then it froze, any reason why?

Map worked fine for me.
I would like a tutorial on this also.
I tried to replicate this but like others have failed.

i played this on xlink and for some reason.. like 2 minutes into the game, the people i play with say that the game freezes and throws them back into the main menu... any idea why? and perhap fix this system link bug?

ExileLord · Post by **ExileLord** » Sat May 06, 2006 8:19 pm

There is a bug with the weapon in system link, but not what you're describing. I lack the knowledge to fix it unless someone else would like to give it a shot.

ScottyGEE · Post by **ScottyGEE** » Sat May 06, 2006 8:55 pm

Yeah force stuff over system link doesnt work...I really dont know how to fix it...

Yeah I'm pretty sure the meta itself is built right but if someone would like to look it over and recheck everything that would be nice

. I 'borrowed' a biped tag and injected the weapon over that so I wouldn't be suprised if thats whats causing the problem. It might be better to just externalize the trigger and projectile chunks in a separate tag, leaving the original weapon intact. Maybe shade could give it a go as I have no experience in syslinking other than breaking it

Heh, I was just looking throught the [weap] tag and the [vehi] tag , and there are things there that shouldn't be there, like there a re scenarios\something\something as a vehicle, it's really weird

Why are those there?

HaloZack · Post by **HaloZack** » Sun May 07, 2006 6:06 am

This is sweet dude, now it seems like when we try and destroy a vehicle like when we use R the vehicles can now defend themselves!

They're just wierd names for what is actually there. Not sure if he did it deliberately to make it hard to suss out his mod or if he had another reason.

There isn't anything that's not supposed to be there. It's probably because you're using DotHalo instead of ADI or some other app.

Ha, you're right.. That's weird, I thought all these programs were the same...(ADI and Dothalo)

You posted this on HIH, so, I registered here to say: Holy ****!

n64nerd · Post by **n64nerd** » Sun May 07, 2006 1:48 pm

still don't understand how the projectile actually hits the vehicle, if it's +1000 and -25...

I've always wanted to do this, and even tried a couple times. All my friends are too scared to mod, so we can only play stuff they are affected by. This rocks man!

r0tten · Post by **r0tten** » Sun May 07, 2006 4:01 pm

so how bouts a tutorial on how you made this? also a nicely done custom model for this would be nice, hell i would add it into my selectable weapons in my mainmenu if it looked good enough. good job.
