how does combat work?

Melekai · Post by **Melekai** » Mon Nov 10, 2003 1:57 am

hey guys how does it work?. for those of you that played it.. and those of you still working on the next ver. yoru programming in moves right?. and yoru using ragdoll for when you get hit?. or only killed?. is their any recoil animation if you hit a weapon..

any plans on armor? that could have their own set of hit points?. mini attached models to the player that would be destroyed upon the ending of their lives?.

that woulda been something.. dont only ppick yoru weapons but yoru amors, in game.. wear your heavy plates and yoru moves become slower, less accurate, you become slower overall.. but your are physically actually protected from blows.. until the armor pieces are really detroyed?. a nice lil localised damage system,, your arm gets broke you live until you bleed to death or heal, you cant attack with that arm?. ..

well its late.. im goin gto sleep night night

OK MELEE IN A NUTSHELL...

Listen up , because you're only allowed to read this once. Its top secret (hush hush)

ahem... In melee , You swing your weapon at your oponent. If you hit their body , they take damage , and spooge blood. If you hit their weapon , you get awarded with a clanky sound.

clear enough??

now dont let me catch you re-reading that...

is there hit sounds for when you hit a foe or wood or stone with the sword (like a metal cutting flesh, hitting wood, stone..ect kind of sound or something)

Hehe, well Pepitos answer is the short version..., if you're wanting more detailed info, check here

NOTE! Those pages are far, far from finished. Got placeholder pics in there, and rubbish text.., all will be changing over next days.

Used to not show them until finished, but what the heck, perhaps it will keep you interested for a bit, maybe keep you around until we're finished.

Yeah, is there specific noises for hitting metal, flesh, etc? That'd be cool

there probably is ... um go to the link R.Flagg posted, and go to the melee 101 part in there it talks about what happens when u hit a wall and stuff. But oh man I forgot about alot of the stuff mentioned before, and all I can say is that this should be good

. In any case if there isn't who cares that can always be added in later.

hey guys how does it work?.

If you still have Q please feel free to ask.

and those of you still working on the next ver. yoru programming in moves right?

All of the moves are done. We are just fine tunning the weapons and squishing the final bugs.

and yoru using ragdoll for when you get hit?

No. Normally rag doll physics is not replicated in net games. A few mods found a way to force it but it is a bit bandwidth intesive. We do play some hit animations

is their any recoil animation if you hit a weapon..

Not really...but players swing gets stoped and they go back to their orginal stance.

any plans on armor? that could have their own set of hit points?. mini attached models to the player that would be destroyed upon the ending of their lives?.

Atm no. But something we can discuss later.

Yeah, is there specific noises for hitting metal, flesh, etc? That'd be cool

There are some basic ones. We can add more.

In any case if there isn't who cares that can always be added in later.

Yeap we have only scratched the surface here...

You better get used to pus, cuz there's gonna be that and a whole lot more spilling out of your victims when you get your hands on these babies.

And as for hit sounds, I think you guys will enjoy smacking things with the Hammer... I made sure there was lots of bass in those sounds
