Chaotic Dreams

I was thinking about proxies and had an interesting idea but I dont know how feasible it is.

Anyway, In Half-Life, the scientists and barneys would occasionally chat when they were near each other, and I thought it would be funny if proxies had similar little conversations. For one, it would be interesting for observers, and players who were outside of a room full of proxies could hear them chatting and maybe know not to go in right away.

Basically, the way I'm thinking of it is that every so often, if a proxy is within a certain distance of another proxy and both are idle, it will say a random "question" and the nearby proxy(s) will then respond with a random generic "answer" like "yes" or "no" or "I don't know"... And of course I'm sure things could get more creative than just that, but it would be funny to hear them talking to each other when they get bored. Anyway, it's probably not an incredibly useful feature but I think it would be fun if it could be done. In addition to this, there could be other things that proxies say when idle that aren't questions (so other proxies won't respond)...

Anyway, I think I may be obsessing too much about ChaosUT2 lately... Heh...

Well we have something like that now...its not 1 on 1 converastation. But if more than 2 proxies are close enough and the get "bored", they will turn and face the center of the group, maybe move towards each other, then they "talk" in a group. Also suprising a group is a bad idea. They give a group suppise sound then all jump at you

But we might be able to add somthing like that (more talking) in the future...

Awesome... This is gonna turn UT2k3 into a whole new game!

Amazingly often you've gotta run for your life, because there's some proxies on the hunt!

just a bunch of random gibberish.
-"tuesday is coming, did you bring your hat?"
-"im feeling fat and sassy"
-"for the love of god and all that is holy, My anus is bleeding!"

just a couple of quotes from a cartoon called rejected i have.

I did some experimenting with making proxy voices and came up with a "Oh my god they killed Kenny!"... heh heh

Keep in mind we have to keep it somewhat clean so are proxys have to be carefull on what the say....



Can you imagine if our proxys followed Happy Gilmore? Hehehe I can see it where the proxy does not get a kill, then goes on a 2 minute cursing spree just like Happy Gilmore did in that movie..heheheheh of course it wont happen..but still funny to think about. BTW That movie is a classic and a killer...heheheh

rejected - the name is fitting
