Personal shields without the bubble? [Solved]

Post by elfie »

I know it is possible, but how do you make a personal shield like the droideka shield for a unit but without the bubble?

I have a question to build off of elfie's. Would it be possible to make a shield that deflects instead of absorbing shots? Jedi-style. :maulsaber:

interesting question. maybe theres a bit in the combo thing of a lightsaber that describes the process of blocking/reflecting? not really sure how it works, but its worth a shot.

elfie,
in the new released map Battle Arena, the soldiers have shields. im guessing it was emulate Halo a bit. I've put them on units too actually, and its really neat how they work. Only problem is shield-units are very hard to kill with medium or fast shield regeneration. When you do the addshield part, make it a lower number for good gameplay.
