Chaotic Dreams

It would be awesome if you could pick up the weapons of your defeated foes in melee just as though it was chaos dm. That way you could switch through the weapons that you have picked up to find one that will better help the situation.

We can look into that but it may not happen. Duel started out as a one on one, first kill wins type of thing. So as you as you killed you guy the round was over. Also to get the cool weapon dropping effect, we dont use Epic's normal death weapon toss. We remove the weapon, then spawn a "gib" class and give it the same mesh as the weapon. This gives us the weapon bounce effect. (I would agree that we should work on this effect more so as the current one is ok but could use some teaking). This would require us to change they idea behind how we handle the weapons of duel.....

How do you make the camera show what is about to happen if the blade is already slicing up the opponent?


How about an online Death Cam for the last person to die?

And how about making the announcer say something like GOD-LIKE! or WICKED SICK! or HOLY SH!T when you own someone or get totally owned yourself? Like one-hit kills or flawless victories.

And can you make the weapon fall more realistically? Also, I would like to see your melee weapon get stuck if you're not careful and you hit a solid object. It would be funny to see someone frantically trying to pull his sword out of the wall while his enemy rushes to attack him.

Can you not use karma?

We are using karma (well.. sorta) and thats the problem. Karma is not sent over the network, and depending on your physics settings, it can be different on each persons PC. This means locations for dead bodies and things can change, and thus that sword that just dropped in our version wont have a location on the server, and thus isnt pick-upable.

You can use KActors in inet games.
And everyone sees the same thing.
(played a map full of KActors on FUs server)

May you dont use KActors

As jb said, its a gib thats given the mesh of the weapon.

ahh ok

sry

then how does it work that you can pick up weapons in chaos dm?

In Chaos DM, Weapons are dropped as weapons, and not as a part of a gib chunk (So, in Duel the weapon is kinda like a part of your body, whilst in DM it isn't)

I wanna be able to pick up a gib...

lol whack someone with a piece of a leg Take That!

To quote a famous web 'cartoon'

"Jimmy was the last to go, Tex came up behind him, ripped his skull right from his head, and started beating him to death with it."

"Wait a minute, beating him to death with his own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible."

"That's exactly what Jimmy kept saying!"

Jimmy: "This doesn't seem phisically possible!" *As he's gettin' beat down by his own skull mind you*
