right now i have a problem with the Plasma Bugs Fire-Anim. Maybe you can help me.
As you may know the Plasma Bug fired with his back. he blowed up and then fire the plasma ball from his behind (quite disgusting :biggrin: )
Ok, my problem is.
Should i make in the fireanim a turn-anim too? because it has to turn for 180° to fire, it could look quite stupid, if it just flips around.
But if i add a turn-anim, the whole anim could last to long, so every target can simply escape before this thing fires.
Make it some kinda turret. That is, if deployed. Hold on a sec', maybe not. "Neutral" AI is far too dumb to do that, lest you make your own AI for them. Or if all else fails, you might try making as little frames as possible. Is this bug a "vehicle" or "infantry"?
Also, give the Plasma Bug's fire-animation some massive damage value. You said the Plasma Bug explodes upon firing, no? Let its own firing anim kill itself. ^_^
Oh, and by the way, nice job with the SHPs, LKO.
To Corsair:
I don't like "White" Terrans, though. I always thought it nice if they were to wear blue. By the way, is that the UED? They sound more of corrupt than sane - making use of the Overmind.
