Oh, an aiming laser. Well, that's a cool effect and I'm surprised no one's thought of this before.

The way I see it, there are two good ways to do it:
1. Make an effect, red (or whatever color) with the geometry of a long, narrow cylinder. This will make the beam visible in the air, but it will pass through objects and, after a certain length, it will just stop.


2. Attach a custom light ODF to the weapon's hp_fire via an odf line. This will have the "laser pointer" invisible in the air, but it will show up as a red dot on the target. It won't pass through objects, it will stop and make a red dot on them just like a real laser pointer, and it will (in theory) go on forever, though I'm not sure how well the length will actually be in-game. Also, as a side effect, the farther away an object is, the bigger the dot will be, so you'll have to tailor the dot accordingly: mid-range for a rifle, short-range for a shotgun, long-range for a sniper's rifle, etc.


You know, I really like the sound of #2, it would fit in perfectly for something I have planned. I hope you won't mind if I borrow that idea. But that's of course assuming light odfs can be attached to a weapon instead of a static prop, I'm not sure it's allowed by the game.

could someone make this effect for me?

thanks

i think the effect will ruin the atmosphere, who wants to have a long cylinder on the gun pointing through everything?

you could skin it to look like a laser right?

yes, and if its an effect (but that effect will be a long cylinder) it can glow like laser

yea but if it has pointed ends it wouldnt look so bad

edit: lets continue this discussion here > http://www.gametoast.com/forums/viewtop ... 27&t=18294

I know one was used in the Conversion Pack but it hasn't been released yet so can someone please attach a Phase II jetpack to the Imperial Scout Trooper model? Thanks to whoever this may be.

@AQT: does the scout trooper use exactly the same model as the republic felucia sniper? Because if so then DarthD.U.C.K. made one already.

they dont use exactly the samemodel, they have some ifferent bags on different placed and the scut has kneepads, but i can turn thew feluciatrooper into the scout (that mans i will do it)

edit:tjhey arent as similiar as they look on first sight, so i reenveloped the scout
here is the link: click me!

Can someone make the clone commando's backpack an addon? Thanks in advance!

in work

lets see which one is better enveloped xd

Can somebody make me a green,yellow ,and red lizzards that walk on two feet (one green lizzard one yellow one red)?

i dont think anybody wil doo that, its too much work
you would have to create all anims for it

Thanks, D.U.C.K. but your Scout model seems to have shoulder problems:

Who's model am I suppose to use? I'm torn!

Someone, I think it was....FragMe? Made and released a Dewback model. It walks on four feet but you can reskin it at least.

Or you could reskin Bossk from the Convo Pack assets.
