HALO 1 FLAMING RECON ARMOUR

[SEAL5326]

I have seen halo 1 versions of recon that are very good but not with a flaming head!

[Kayar]

How to give spartan armor a flaming head:

1. Get plasma grenades.

2. Sneak up behind target spartan.

3. Throw plasma grenade at target spartan's head.

Alternatively:

1. Go to a reenactment of the Battle of Thermopylae.

2. Obtain a container of gasoline and a lighter.

3. Poor gasoline over the nearest "spartan."

4. Ignite his head.

Done.

grab a flame thrower....that is all

[Guest]

Yeah but the flame goes away

[Noodle]

Not with Kayar's oil+fire solution.

Ha Funny

hey: what about an effe given to the flashlight? o_O in my maps i always give cyborg_mp's the flashlight activation sound effe. <_< (well, that would create flames only when you activate and deactivate it...)

umm... we could swap the flashlight's ligh with something! i know it can be swapped with cont's and lsnd's if i recall correctly... <_<

if it can be swapped with an effe, or a pctl then that would do!! o.o what do you think, people?



EDIT: OBVIOUSLY the flames would be active only when the ‘flashlight’ is active! o_o so, you'll have to put up with that!

[SEAL5326]

That sounds like the right idea now what to swap it for!

[Mota-Lev]

A effect that comes with the flame thrower.

[SEAL5326]

Yeah but the light just spews out flame so you would have to find a way around that to control the flame.

[TaxiService]

mota: Lol. no! in fact: ^

we need a new effe/pctl. now i wonder, can effe be spawned by the flashlight? like you did with flamethrower's pctl?
shit, i'd test it but i have shit to do today >.< BLARGH

anyway what we have to do is:
- creating a new effect (i would start by burning flame. i don't remember if it's in demo too... if it's not, get it from a10 or something.) (also if you use that, null its jpt!. XD)
- edit it so that its particles spawn on the center of the head (since the flashlight hole is on the left of the head o_o) (this is not hard, just look in the effe tag)
- ????
- PROFIT! O_O

and... um... yeah. <_< i'll do that when i come back in, like, 10 hours or so!

[Kayar]

Effes can be spawned with the flashlight, it's how that old suicide by using the flashlight mod works, makes an explosion effect. Ultimately you just need a new effect, as Taxi said.

[Turtle]

Wouldn't that create a stupendous amount of lag?
But it's a nice idea non the less, the hard part is getting to work

[SEAL5326]

Taxi- You my friend are brilliant that would work perfect if you could get this thing working and post it to the mod database I would be very happy!

[TaxiService]

why thank you seal i, um, i guess i can do that! i just need to find some time... uhhh >_<

i think i have some right now! i'll try something. i will probably need a tester if there is one. o_o I HAVE 66 MINUTES!! QUICK ANYONE! D:


EDIT: FAILURE!
the effect is not continuos, so it does not keep burning! D:
also, i don't think the flames spawned at all >.< i need to find another way... IN TESTING I GO!

EDIT: MY BAD! XD it works! i, um, i was mistaking which tag did i have to assign the effe to. o_o
also i had to rename a chunk of the effe to make the part's spawn. not a big deal anyway
at the moment if i turn it on, the whole cyborg is on fire. also it clogs your vision alot o_o so... meh, yeah.
BONUS:

gimmie some time and it will be fixed to burn only the head. XD
