Hey I have a little question:

Haw can I make the lightsaber, so it looks like in the picture?

EGG_GUTS · Post by **EGG_GUTS** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:31 pm

upside down?
I'm pretty sure you make the

LightSaberLength = "1.0" a negative so "-1.0"

FirePointName       = "hp_fire"
LightSaberLength    = "-1.0"
LightSaberWidth     = "0.08"
LightSaberTexture   = "redlightsabre"
LightSaberTrailColor = "255 0 0 128"

I think. Try It, and see if it works.

Thanks I'll try it

yeah, it works, but it looks really weird with some animations, like anakin's. the idle pose looks cool, but the actual fighting looks messed up.

TheDarkMask · Post by **TheDarkMask** » Fri Feb 01, 2008 6:46 pm

Did anyone make a good animation for this?

I have a problem:
When I add the sith into my map, it crashes!

I can think of a few things that might make the map crash but I'm not totally sure. First, I'm pretty sure that if you don't have com_weap_inf_sabre throw or com_weap_inf_force_push in your sides folder, the map will crash. Also, what does jed_sith_01's req look like. A backwards blade looks best if you set the blade length and width of the first part of a maul saber to 0. For animations, when you have it working ingame try using these animations that I mixed for my Shaak Ti
http://files.filefront.com/shaakzip/;95 ... einfo.html Just give me credit if you use them. Finally, could you post your error log. I hope this helped

Told you

The hardpoint is on the wrong side, you merely turned the effect around but the hardpoint is still in the same spot. The only way to fix that is to make a new model. I'm quite certain someone already made a backhandsaber though, you should ask around.

TheDarkMask · Post by **TheDarkMask** » Sat Feb 02, 2008 9:33 am

Okay, maybe I ask Thunder, or Caleb.
