Nod Scorpion Super Heavy Walker (Mammoth MKII is history) Options

[Lin Kuei Ominae]

HI

Here comes my second shp unit, and for all those who think Nod needs a counterpart to the Mammoth MKII, here it is.
Its a giant scorpion for Nod as a Walker unit with 8 legs
It comes with a 20 Frames walk animation
8 Standing Frames
40 Deathframes (yeah it gets destroyed spectacular, i think)
40 Firing Frames for each of the 8 facings (charge up animation for very heavy Laser Cannon mounted on the tail)
1 Build-menu Icon
1 Hit animation for the laser cannon

Icon:
Ingame:
Death anim (fades out ingame while explosionring expands):
Walk anim:
Fire anim:

credit me if you release a mod with this one.
zip with all shp's:  LKOscorpion30.zip ( 837.42K ) Number of downloads: 1368

the explosion sound i use:  hugeExp1.zip ( 52.25K ) Number of downloads: 853

the units voice i use (voice in german):  scovoice.zip ( 76.04K ) Number of downloads: 799


-------------
here the code for art rules and sound ini for a faster implementation. but its only an example

oh before i forget it. the unit uses FiringSyncFrame1= and that is a firestorm command. means, only with firestorm or the latest TS-patch installed, the firing animation is perfect syncronized to the weapon firing.
