HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

im currently working on a fun mod for xbc and i was wondering on relic is it possible to make to a countinous airstrike sorta thing, or make it come every so often (to reduce the lag like the post below brought up ). automatically come from the sky instead of it being shot out of a gun just wondering like tank shells rockets wraith shots , would it be like making artificial rain ? instead of the needlers proj. you make it wraith shots or whatever.

two words.

lag and lag.


that much action will make your game lag to the high heavens.

but would it be possible like i mentioned

If you placed 10-20 around the map and had them shoot every 30 seconds or something like that i doubt it would lag that much, but the "Artificial Rain" tut says to make the needler shoot like 200? or so projectiles, that would be lag, just keep the number below 25-30 and you "SHOULD" be just about lag free.

Edit: Also, you could probably make the weapons invisible by duplicating one of them and just nulling out the shaders, just be sure you have them placed before you null them out or they will be invisible in the BSP viewer.

Did you happen to read mine or Tural's posts that the tut with the needler for artificial rain did not work (I don't remember if they are still there though since the forum conversion).

yea, hes not trying to make rain though, hes trying to spawn wraith shots, which is very possible. and Yes i did read that a long time ago, and i even tried it, the tut didn't work because of LAG and the fact that it rain doesn't spawn out of something that sprays like a shower. I told him to keep the spawns low and he should be fine.

ill try it in a bit decideing which of the tank,rocket,wraith would have the least amout of lag
