Detachable limbs mod idea

Smiley · Post by **Smiley** » Sun Oct 14, 2007 6:01 pm

I thought about this a long while ago, when i found the ragdoll mod, the effect from the sentinal, the gunshot causing the ragdoll, and i thought about this. what if you used the floods effects on the MC and Elite models, so when you shoot them in the head or arms it coms off. Would this e possuible o.O?

i think you could but you would have to replace the actual biped models for that of a spartan and elite but have the effect of getting them blown off. i bet it could be done and would be pretty cool i just really only have a foggy idea of how to go about it.

"come back you coward! I'm not finished yet!"
"what are you going to do? kick us to death!?"

for those that don't know this is from monty pythons holy grail where one person chops off both of one knights arms but the other guy still won't quit the relevance is what could you do once both your arms had been blown off?
I like the idea, a detachable head from a sniper head shot would be fantastic, Im trying to figure a effect to chain spawn a skull from a sniper head shot to myself "boom I just blew your skull out!"

I never thought anyone here would accept my idea xD, i figued the arm coming off would be a JPT! ( i think thats what its called) or something close to it. Increased blood splatter would be hilariouse, and a problem of dropping the weapon when you loose your arm x.x

Well you could make a certain button make you explode like the flood do. Possibly white? (What does white do ingame anyway?) So when you loose your arms.. *Shplark* xP

P.S. im not sure how to map out commands =\

exploding on command is something I have wanted to do for a long time but its a heavy scripts thing, as for blowing limbs off it would have to be to do with the biped tag but again very difficult (unless you could rag doll just one arm at a time IDK)
A good idea just not all that possible as of yet as far as I know

its possible but a rather long process...to do it "properly", you need to remodel the biped several times with all the possible varations but atm that would cause the animations to break....

However...it could be achieved "improperly" by removing the detachable limbs from the main body and attaching them as separate models via the hlmt and giving them health but again this would mean a lose of some animations, although in this case there would still be some movement depending on how attached the limbs

I figured in the start you would loose ragdoll, but i didnt think much about the animations...

EDIT: i will try this as soon as i can, i've used Flash FTP before, but now its going all wack on me. it sucks

Reedit: ..... now i really dont care.. my brother ruined my xbox, (Tried to connect to XBL) and now my dashboard is gone and i cant get the 400 mb fixer thinga ma bob..... this really sucks.. and it was a good idea :'(
