needler v2 >_> - updated w/INGAMES!

[CtrlAltDestroy]

... alright, so I was reanimating the needler and I wondered "How the hell do you actually reload a needler? "


And so it was born...








Looks exactly like the old needler when the cover is closed

I'll get ingames as soon as the animations are done.


Suggestions?

[Sarb]

It would be cool if you could use that pink crystal as a grenade, like as a last resort.

[Tsuin Taiyou]

Cool. :O

[RA1N THE ELITE]

interesting.

[Veegie[Temp]]

L33T is a cutie.

[V0Lt4Ge]

That's awesome.

[Caboose{SE}]

hm..needler discharge

that might be cool, kinda like the the needle turret or the apparition

[Kirk]

That's awesome. My only suggestion would be that the MC should stick the needler clip in with more force. Just looks cooler

[IRONMAN.]

WHOA i always wondered how the needler ammo worked. But is the really where the needler ammo goes or is that where you decided to put it.

[CtrlAltDestroy]

It's just my interpretation.

[FleetAdmiralBacon]

It's the most logical place, the needler ammo is normally in a gelatonous blob and is squeezed into fine explosive needles in the needler itself.

That is debatable. The way it is set up in-game, one is led to believe that it is crystal-like. Due to the purposeful lack of smoothing-groups.

[Explosive American]

That owns. Looks a little unnatural, though. The ammo crystal kinda sinks halfway into the geometry of the weapon. Might want to model a little cradle in or something.

[ScottyGEE]

Thats pretty darn kool! A very nice interpretation too...As for me I never thought about it.

Hmm.. Now that I think about it, I believe that it is melted while in the needler and then shaped like playdo into needles, where it then hardens again...
Anyways, it looks good.

[GametagAeonFlux]

That's pretty awesome.

So, whenever the crystal is exposed to oxygen, it hardens. Makes sense I suppose, just seems farfetched. Or does it?

Yea Nice Idea, I alwase wonder how the neddler go new rounds. The only thing is i would make a venting animation for it kinda like the plasma rifle. I would have a large puff of pink smoke or a colum of pink smoke come out when you reload, right before you stick in the blob. That is based on FleetAdmiralBacon's theory.

[HK-47]

Far fetched veegie? never! this is halo ^.^.

[{SA}DR]

Cool , i've never thought about the Needler .
