I'm working on a project for school (yes, believe it or not), and I need to know how I would make a bot that just stands still so i can test a homing thing on him without having to re-transfer the map to my dads computer and re-joining the server everytime... it's annoying.

Any ideas?

If possible, i'd like to keep this to sparkedit and HMT, unless you can make it for me by tomorrow of course

Man, I haven't been on these forums since.. like April 2004

Replace something with a biped. These will work:

Scenery
Weapons
Vehicles
Projectiles

Copy the biped meta in hmt and replace one of those, if weapon is replaced, DON'T change the homing one. Same with projectile. I prefer swapping a projectile. Just fire and get an instant target!

Alright, I'm about to try it. Thanks man.

Okay, so it was a complete success. Here's a sample video of my "electrons".

I can get up to 4 going at a time before they start messing up. When I shoot them at the person and they stick, they explode harmlessly so I don't have extra crap using my system's resources and making my presentation look like crap.

Nice. Let me guess, science class. It'll be a while before I need videos for school.

yep, chem class...

that's my visual for the electron cloud model, lol.

I actually got 20 nades on one person, and recorded from first person. slowed my computer down but i sitll got a video. here...

http://media.putfile.com/frozen83

apparently when you jump out of it, it freezes the homing nades in mid-air... it's crazy.

Oh, and to those wondering. The exact numbers are

Homing: 20
Nade Speed (final and starting): 0.1
Deviation: 0!! <important
Auto-aim angle and range: 9999
Magnetism angle and range: 9999

i think that's mostly it to make them go around. I turned their damage off, and made them go off after 1 second if attached, so you dont have a ton sticking to him lagging you to hell. i put like 999 seconds for not attached, or something like that.

the second video shows how to get it started. keep watching to the end. you have to shoot perpendicular to them, and get really close to them. keep in mind, the homing center is around the torso. if you crouch and shoot up, it's easier, and looks more atom-ish.

If you really want to re-create this and need more info, just ask. I was just posting it to be stupid but if you like it and cant get it to work i can give better directions i guess. I think I gave all the numbers that are necessary.

NOTE: If you move, turn, melee, or anything the nades go crazy and start colliding (as in the second video). Once one starts, it throws off the others. As far as I can see JUMPing makes them freeze? I'd like to investigate more but I have to work tomorrow.

Well 1. It's only funny if it ends in [/sarcasm] because it's like the punchline and 2. It would be reasonable like a noob mistake when putting url's in or something and there's an extra end tag.

Sorry, it was kinda late and I was a bit tired.
