Mirroring units [Solved]

Post by The Duke »

I was wondering if it's possible to have a unit like walk in front of u, and attack when you attack, jump when you jump, and do everything you do. I don't want it to be like the follow command cuz the units move by themselves and i want it to be an exact mirror of you, so when you backslash or something, the unit in front of you does this. It's like a kinda like a puppet if you guys don't get it.

This I believe would require new mshs and animations.

This isn't about reflection regions. I also don't think this would require new models or animations. We're talking about a second unit that mimicks the player's every move, so there's no need for that. I believe this could be scripted, if one has the knowledge and willingness to try. The only problem I can't get my head around is how you'd attain (or get rid of) the second unit, so I'll leave that to your imagination.

The mirroring unit never dies and has infinite health, this may sound too one sided but the actually player commanding the mirroring unit has extremly low health and attacks do less damage and such. But anyway ya i'm gonna go for it and try it :)
