Post by chaoskirina »

maybe you guys can make a model or something that, like, flies when it runs. you know, sorta floats. like maybe a chaos robot or something.

I'm thinking he means like a ghostly figure who floats rather than runs. Kinda like Magus from chrono trigger, Gil from Chrono Cross, some forms of ghosts and banshees from various other games... err.. grim reapers, peach on super smash bros...

I don't think he means that... I'm thinking he means models who levitate just beyond the ground and float around. In some cartoons and movies, you'll see witchs and other mystical creatures who will just float in mid air and move around....

edit: It's an animation, so there isn't really anything that would affect the gameplay of others except for seeing some spooky character floating around.

Imo that would raise a ton of questions about why cant that character fly,lala

also it would look quite funky in duel

If you had a custom model with custom animations, i think it wo uld be possible by massaging some values and the animations. (either have a way to manually extend the collision box down below the feet, or add an invisible appendage that keeps you off the ground, and then have the animations not be "running")

But, it wouldnt work in duel.

yes make a Phantasma model....(Ghost Model). Well I have downloaded just about every skin out there and I have yet to see anything come close to flying or hovering. Everything seems to walk, poorly but walk. It'll be a real trick to just see something gliding around going "weeeee".

Can be done pretty easily with a custom model and custon animations. If you left the upper torso structure intact and only animate the rest it should be compatable with the melee system as well.
