tyrants

[Sushi]

Well i dunno, it would be quite complex and weird stuff might happen like its legs going through the floor and stuff, good idea though!   :wink:

Heres some more info!

the dretch boundary box is MASSIVE! So shooting near the dretch means you will probably hit it.
I think you should get to be a worm, so you can go into tiny worm-sized toilet pipes and watch the little humies and big tyrs charge around, while you are safe... and snug... and warm...




































































Until someone flushes the toilets...

spam!  :evil:

Lets's get back on topic:
Would it be possible to give the tyrant a kind of... anti-bounding box underneath it?
between the legs?
I imagine it's possible but I dun kno shipt 'bout diz zstoof.

By 'anti bounding box' what do u mean?
if u mean the tyrant doesn't have a b box over its legs, then its legs would go though the ground.
think of the tyrant as a ghost, it can go though walls and the ground.
think of the b box over the tyrant as its mass (and a load of other physics things!) if the box was changed in its size, like half of its hight chopped of, say the b box over the tyrant's legs, then the b box over its upper body would pull the 'ghost' tyrant down, and because its a 'ghost' then the parts that don't have the b box over it will just go through the ground (or wall as well) Have u ever played trem with cheats on and turned 'no clip' on, 'no clip' is just your character with no bounding box applied to it, then you can float anywhere u want (like through the walls and floors), but it has no gravity because there is no b box!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :eek:  :eek:  :eek:


Hope u kinda understand that!!!!!!!      

Oh my, this is getting complicated!!!!!!!!!!!

I understand bounding boxes, and now I understand that you cannot have space between the bounding box and the ground, but....IZ'm assuming all bounding boxes have to be cubic (hence the size of the dretch's), am I right? Do bounding boxes have to be cubic or rectangular? If not would it not be simple to make the bounding box of the.....nevermind, bounding boxes cannot rotate, right? (This next idea isn't going to work since bboxes cant rotate but it's worth mentioning) What if we compsed the tyrant's bbox of three bboxes? One for the upper body, one for the right pair of legs, and one for the left pair of legs?

[David]

just make the dretch noclip the tyrant and goon.
problem solved.

[Sushi]

good idea,  and b boxes can rotate. this is know as rigid body. B boxes can be circular and other shapes as well though, but not in the shapes we want!
oh, and just making things no clip would let dretches fly and go thru walls, not a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!!  :wink:  :wink:  :wink:  :wink:

:roll:  :roll:

Speak to u guys tommo, hav to stop now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Plague Bringer]

I think he means that as soon as the dretch bbox comes in contact with the tyrant and goon bboxes the dretch goes noclip, and as soon as..nevermind...because there would be no bbox to judge when the dretch leaves the tyrant's bbox. Even if that did work it could be abused by letting an army of dretches grab a ride into human base an wreak havoc once the tyrant dies by the armory that just blew up.

[Sushi]

If u made anything no clip it would have no gravity or anything like that!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sushi]

Actually i don't think its a good idea to fix this
:eek:  :-?

[David]

I didnt mean noclip as in the cheat noclip, I meant noclip as in its not clipping.
In the clipping calculations. if you are a dretch ignore all tyrants and goons.

[Sushi]

Good one david!!!!!!!!!!!          
There is one problem, the drenches could go THROUGH the tyrant's legs!!!!!!
   

[Glunnator]

look, I know how bounding boxes work, and no, I didn't mean deleting the bbox for the tyrants legs. What I meant, was, a kind of DIFFERENT box, which would be the opposite of a bounding box.
As in:
B-Box:     --Lol can't walk through
and an Anti-BBox would cancel the B-Box out.
So, put a small antibox through a b-box and that area would be pentratable.
So: (No Antibox)   --I is stuck!
(Antibox in middle)     --LOL! I can walk through the middle!

And then putting the antibox inside the tyrant's leg-area IN BETWEEN the legs, so a dretch can't walk through its legs but it CAN walk BETWEEN them.

Also, a second option would be this: Is it possible to set that certain b-box dous not interfere with another kind of b-box?
Then we could give the tyrant 2 different b-boxes. one on it's legs and one for the rest of him. The one on it's legs is set to ignore the dretch's b-box. The difference is that a dretch, in this one, CAN walk through the legs...  :-?

would you stop that?--   --wheee!

[Sushi]

The anti-b-box is a great idea!!!!!
I never knew there was anything like an anti box, but it sounds like a good idea!!!!!!!!

Problem solved....









.....I think!!!!!!!!

I truthfully dont think that a physics overhall just so that a dretch can go through the tyrants legs is a good investment of developer time, but by all means you can get the source code from SVN and have a go at it yourself.

Sushi....do you by anychance go by

It's true, I don't find getting crushed by a tyrant annoying myself, but then I don't go on the aliens team that much, anyway, dretches are so fast they could easily outrun a charging tyrant. If people tried to fix it, it might make the game slower and more glitchy.

Oh, and, what on earth does this mean??

[Plague Bringer]

Apparantly not....there's a person with the ingame name "Sushi on my tushi" as in on my ass.

[Sushi]

My in-game name's Sushi, one of my friend's names is fishfood!

You should make a clan....or join the Guild fi$h

[Sushi]

yeah i should!
