Balancing The Pelican for gameplay

Post by killarzachary »

Programs required
-Entity 1.3.9

Making the driver visible:
1. Open your map in entity.
2. Go under the [vehi] tag for the Pelican.
3. Open the meta editor and scroll down to seats 144.
4. In the flag box (if you don't see it set up the meta editor to show invisibles) uncheck the top left bot.
5. Sign the map and test.

Making the driver killable.
1. Open your map in Entity.
2. Go under the [hlmt] tag for the Pelican.
3. Right click and display the idents.
4. Null the collision.
5. Sign the map and test.

Other Option: Download
You can download the map and extract the Pelican for use. It has been premodded and balenced.

Download Instructions: (If your releasing a mod using the copied Pelican you must give me credit!)

Apply the patch to an unmodded coagulation.map, then open it in Entity and check off recrusive, parsed, and shounds, then extract it and build it into your map. (Note! - Pelican does not have any collision with the BSP so you must spawn it on a mach).

Does this also give the pelican health, so it can be destroyed?

nulling the collision means your shooting through the pelican...to make the driver killable you have to add the seat protection nested reflexive

this is much of a tutorial if you don't tell us how to add seat protection, if you just tell us to download sum thing then we arn't really learning.

Yeah I added seat protection in the download but I don't know if it even works so I didn't put that part in the tut.

Well the patch works, but I don't know if the hitboxes make a difference.

I just tested making the MC visible in the Pelican's driver seat, and it worked. Good job.

However, he did look rather, uh, boxy...
