Amazing idea for a new weapon, might be possible...

But i'd need lots of help. I am thinking of the Jackals shield. Sure, it sounds retarded, but there must be a way to add triggers for when someone shoots a weapon. I was thinking of replacing the plasma pistol as it looks quite cool, with MC using both hands and the melee would be where he'd put it away and use his fist.
Any suggestions? Is it possible? With a lot of effort, i think it is.

it would only be good if u can duel wield -- unless u can like time an incoming bullet and press the trigger to deflect it back to the shooter...

Duel Wielding isn't a possibility, but you could quickly switch weapon, or melee. It would still be outstanding me thinks.

If you'd have a target nearby you could circle him/her and have your shield out. That's the defence. If that person tries to run you can melee them on the back for an instant kill or if they are still facing you, you could charge and melee. Also, if they'd from a nade at you it'd bounce off.
Sure, this sounds like modding extremes, but i do think it's possible.

Yeah, with some collision system like the shields have. With a FP mode it would be amazing. But sure, if i ever go into making it myself, i'll contact you unless anyone else has ideas?

It happened ages ago on a topic. I said i thought i'd make a good moderator so Grenadiacs response was positive.
Back to the previous topic anyway...

Yeah, I liked how they used them in the books and would hope once the day HEK came along, someone would make it into a usable. I could maybe, MAYBE, help if you would like this week like Thursday or tomorrow, that is, if you would like my help

I haven't read the tutorial yet but I have homework today and stuff but all I'm saying is if you would like the help, I could read the tutorial and pitch in a few. Anyone else, maybe we could get on an IRC or something?

Thanks, but i was wanting it to be Xbox compatible though...(and PAL, rather than NTSC for once in a zillion years)

Yeh, it is a really good idea, but I think it would take a really long time to make...

Because the Xbox...*cough* PAL *cough* deserves something unique that no one else has.

Firsts things first. I can't model or skin as of yet. So firstly i need people who can do that and secondly i need advice on how to make this mod. I mean, is collision with weapon models even possible?

well, the modelling and skinning part is fine... but getting it to function like a shield would obviously be the hardest part
