What annoys me is that i can't make monsters spawned with monstermakers trigger stuff! I need two grunts to trigger something when they die (trigger condition: death), but you can't set that property because their spawned from a monstermaker.

Shit!

I'm about to try 1.1

Just browsed the models, I can already tell that barney.mdl has been decompiled in Milkshape at some point. :/

Animations are screwed. They work and everything, but animations which require the model to move forward or back (dying animations or being dragged) are stuck on the spot.)

Wut?

Are you using the HD model pack that comes with Blue Shift?

And yes, the barney model has been decompiled once. Barney actually reloads his weapon after having fired 17 shots. This required an aditional event to be added to the model for the gamecode to call (reload animation).

What about the shells? Didn't that need to be added too?

Shell ejections are handled by the code, just like with grunts.

I thought you had to add a new attachement, though.

Nope, just x y z coordinates.

Well finished it and enjoyed every last second. The extended section was brilliant.

As I mentioned on steam, I also see the missing face in the transmitter dome as screenied by JeffMOD. Also I gibbed on the final elevator, so I blew up the Agrunt corpse and that sorted it. Maybe have it fade away in the next version?

Other than that, congratulations. This gave me a good 40 minutes of enjoyment.
Very nice work. :D

I get the missing face too (never noticed it before!). Ill fix it.

As for the gibbing, its a func_train bug. Monsters spawned with monstermakers don't fade corpse, which is stupid.

Still, im glad you enjoyed! :D

Don't monstermakers have a "fade corpse" flag? Or is that just spirit?

There's always teleporting it it, I guess.

I tried that too, but then, for some strange reason, the grunts don't do anything at all, as if their AI is disabled, you can walk in front of him, but he does nothing, not even open fire. Only when i shoot him, he regains his AI.

Argh.

What if you would build an invisible func_tank which does 0 damage? Maybe that would activate his AI when it attacks him.

Then who would be using it? Automated func_tanks don't shoot grunts.

I need a coder. Im hiring right now.

They shoot whatever's in front of them when they can't rotate, they see a player (or scientist/Barney) and their tolerance is 180 or more. I think.

I don't think that's gonna work... It'll look weird to the player.

Ah, so that's what tolerance is for. I've always wondered about that.

[Edit] And what about a func_tanklaser with the beams brightness set to 0?

Hmmm, now that you mention it, TJB, maybe i could use a regular env_beam or env_laser to deal 0 damage to the grunt after he teleported and hopefully, re-enable his AI.

You going to use the High Quality models?

Other than that, How long do you plan this extension will be?

[EDIT]: Because, I absolutely loved Uplink. First Half-Life game I ever played. Great demo, gives you a lot for it.

Search it- It's in the vault.
There are no HD models, but there is HD mapping.
Don't replace models, either. The barney has custom reload animation properties.
