My N00B creation!

i made a.. sled? thing..... anyways my words suck and my pictures suck
but at least a sucky picture is worth a thousand equally sucky words...

it looks like this from the outside...



go around the back and... woo a switch!



press the switch and... wooo the front part opens!



when you go in, you can press a button to open/close front part, or press a button to do.. THIS...



LOL ITS LIEK GLASS NOW!!!

when you're controlling it - you currently have 3 options

Fire: Extend/retract the 2 spikes....

Alt Fire: start up/stop fan blade thingy

Move Forward: makes the whole thing go forward (oh god that took me a while to figure out)



it still has problems but im working on it....

When its going forward its basically scraping in the ground .....

it doesnt turn or go backward (yet!)

usualy when going over bumps and hills i end up falling out of it...

but.. its still fun :biggrin: and i made it heavy enough so people that come
in on my server dont throw it at me and kill me with it anymore.... now
they just use guns... they dont realise it opens :biggrin:

edit: hey.. if i take that propeller and put it on the roof instead it'll be a roflcopter?

It's... weird... but funny. Fix it up, make it fully functional, give
it a good look and perhaps you can create a nice racing-map? :smile:

maybe... in the state it is in now it doesnt do much... except.. kill me sometimes..... in fact.. alot...

kinda looks like a winterized Pope-mobile....cool.... :smile:

Dr Brasso.. :dodgy:

well.. i was just kinda experimenting.... about 10 different new things
i had to use to create this - so i learned from the experience ... so..
yay !!

I nominate this for "most pointless thread of the year", and we're only 12 days in to 2005.

What forces have you unleashed with HL2, oh Valve?!

what a nice poll we have going on

I agree with Gwil, this post is pointless without a download url.

eh.. you want to ... download.. it?

have to copy/paste?

i dont really know a decent place to host anything besides images...

It was alright, although needs much work. First off, put in a
info_player_start. I am use to playing maps in Half-Life 2 SP since I
don't play DM much. Another problem is you didn't include any of the
materials and the controls on the vehicle were horrible.

But I loved the spikes that came out from the front. Maybe use a blade
model instead of a brush-based fan, just to make it look more detailed.
Work on it and it'll be a good 'noob creation' :smile: .

thank you ^_^

i definitely have to work on the controls............

is there any way to use a model for a func_door and func_rotating? for the saw blade thingy and the spikes....

You may be able to set an animation or something to it. Take a look at some entities.

Hmm, nice, a darnsight further than i have got with vehicles :biggrin:

I got some suggestions, when the wings come out, make some
phys_thrusters under the wings to make it take off slowly, and also i
suggest adding some wheels to make it drive :biggrin:

Don't like the thing round the back nor the texturing.

does it operate like a vehicle properly?

if so, how did you do it?

wait, wait, whoa. you can make fully-functional brush-based vehicles? OMGLOLWOOTCHINAMAN

i doubt it ... but maybe? can you ? if i find out ill tell all :wink:

it seems to work... but is it brush based ? wow nice job :wink: way farther than ive gotten = D

it seems to work... but is it brush based ? wow nice job :wink: way farther than ive gotten = D

it's brush based, it uses a thruster entity to move it

hmm maybe you could pm me on how you did it = ) im used to hl1 how'd
you get the entities to "stick" together and all... If this is
possible than .... "some of keets greatest insane ideas come to life..."

Ugh, the snarkpit is slowly declining into some noob infested prefabbed mess.

Kudos for adding a 'DIE NOOB!!!' option to your poll.

i sent you the VMF... if anyone else wants it just ask

(you get entities to stick together by parenting them onto something, entities move with their parent)

can i have it?

:biggrin: cheers

you better be quick (J/K)

it's nice, i love the idea, maybe if you get his one done you can do like a re-make and make it looks as ace as it should :smile:

it's good practise :wink:

I talked to this mapper and he showd me something similar but it was a helicopter and was made similar to yours!!!

It was quite fun

I must admit youve got a kickass entity setup there, I'm gonna implement this and see what else i can do with it :biggrin:

You can use the same game_ui to make it go backwards, to the sides, you
just need more stuff. You dont have to be in it to make it work
so if you want to make a remote control something you could use the
same setup.
