needler needle colour change

[King_Kilvas]

ok, first post, feel free to critisise ect.

random thought, how would i make the needler more deppresing? think about it, what more deppressing than being impailed on many many needles but one problem..THERE FRIGGEN PINK!

Not that theres anything wrong with that but i though i'd "goth" it up a little. change the needles to black with a very darkish purple tinge.

now i've proberly been past the answer but after changing many needle bitmaps ect i can find anything but managed to change the needles in the needler yellow..god knows why, so any help in the right derection would be of help thanks.

the other questions are
Is there anyway to increse the lenght of the needle with out modeling or firing many at once?
Can the needles penitrate right though many targets such as the sniper rifle bullet?
How do i turn the panic off when the needle limit reaches exploding point?
If sniper-like penitration is possible, can there be a way to "nail" an enemy to the ground? (eg feet)
and lastly, how would i turn off needle explosion but have the needles gradualy disapper?(basicly like the brute spiker)

yeh, big ask from a newb modder like me, but i gotta start somewhere, thanks of any help on this.

goth is a group of ppl.

A:No, you have to model

Can the needles penitrate right though many targets such as the sniper rifle bullet?

A:Yes, just mess around.

How do i turn the panic off when the needle limit reaches exploding point?

A: What?

If sniper-like penitration is possible, can there be a way to "nail" an enemy to the ground? (eg feet)

A:Why would u need that? Theyr'e dead, and not moving nowheres.

and lastly, how would i turn off needle explosion but have the needles gradualy disapper?(basicly like the brute spiker)

A:Null the explosion tag and the detonate tag in HHT.

i ment "goth" it up as a discriptive work, not a put down ect but my bad i ment to put a "." instead of "but"
wrong with that but i though
so basicly, do you know how to change the needle colour black, and the glow/light dark purple


How do i turn the panic off when the needle limit reaches exploding point?

A: What?
"panic" as in the mindstate AI goes into after a plasma grenade/7+needles are attached and start yelling "someone get it off! ahh! not again!" ect

true, if that was a sniper round, but the low damage of a needle pining something to the ground to allow you to torture at will. i feel that would add some depth to the game

Nail gun tbh...
You could make the damage have a really high stun time, so that they just stand there flinching all day, whilst you shoot them with another weapon or something. I don't know, but it'd work.

[King_Kilvas]

thanks for that, is there a way to set stun to only certain model parts? a.k.a. legs or would that not be posible

[Philly]

Mmm...
I don't think so.

[King_Kilvas]

ok thats about it, now only..

the A/R/G/B combination for black/ make the fired needles black

and how can I turn off AI panic after plasma grenade/7 or more needles are on a npc?

thanks

For the black effect, one way 2 do it, (not sure if its the only way, but the way i do it)
1. find the needler contrail bitmap, color this all black, or a better way is to select just the pink, and shade it a very very dark color, not 100% black because that will most likely make it transparent, inject.
2. go to light volume, make the "A" anything you please, doesnt matter, change the "RBG" all too "0" this will make the needle the same color as the contrail color.
I self-tested that maybe 2 mins ago so i know it works.

As for turning off the AI panic, if you mean when they try to dodge it, simple go to the Actor tag, and uncheck under more flags "avoids all enemy attacks" or something to that extent.
And I'm not sure wht you mean by the seven needles part, but i think i have an idea

[bcnipod]

this is twisted.

[King_Kilvas]

k thanks, sorry for the long reply, email diden't show up for the reply email system.

What I mean by the "Panic" is not the AI dodging a grenade but AI running around after a grenade has stuck on them. You know, the short 1.5 seconds where they run around yelling "get it off!" ect before the 7+needles or plasma grenade blows up

oh, and to the person who said this is twisted, thats the point.

Murders in movies arn't big fluffy bunnies for a reason you know lol

[UPS]

Lol...
I've kind of done this before.
I remodeled the needle projectile to be reaally big and long (nail gun?) and made each needle not detonate for like a minute, then added impact damage. It was pretty crazy.
