I really want to make a star wars universe type game with lightsabers, blasters etc. I've seen battlefront screenshots, and am thinking about making it a little more like an RPG than a shooter (or at least a shooter with RPG elements). The question is, If I'm just doing this for myself, and perhaps ...

Hmm. I figured it out. I must have turned the sound off when I was demoing RF, and my computer must have remembered, so I just switched to the volume mixer and clicked on the RF slider to give me sound again, while I had the demo running. Turns out to not even be an RF problem, so feel free to delet...

I know this is kind of an old thread, but I have been struggling with something similiar, and wondering if anybody has a solution. I am trying to create the appearance of a laserbolt projectile like in star wars. I tried this first with a projectile shaped like a bolt and attaching a light effect to...

So I guess it can only be done with a scripted player. Looks like I've got some learning to do.

Thanks for the help

I tried that. The sound is turned up.

It must be something else.

Hello,

This has got to be the worst newbie question ever. I somehow switched off the sound for my RF project and cannot figure out how to switch it back on.

Is audio defined in one of the .ini files, or is it even simpler than that?

I tried using an actor spray effect, but for some reason it didn't work and it crashed the demo. I know this is a bit more complex than a standard spray, but I want the projectile to look three dimension (it is a long bolt of light) rather than flat. Does anyone have a working effect.ini entry that ...

Can anybody tell me how I would go about triggering animations. For example, to make a player wind a crank when the use button is selected or to animate them to make them turn the pages of a book? I know how to animate the opening of doors in RF, my question is how can I trigger a player (or a pawn)...

That was awesome.

Did you make your laserbolts by applying effects to the projectile?

I am trying to make something more like a star wars blaster bolt and am having very little success.

Anyone have any ideas about how I could create a star wars blaster type bolt?

Have tried attaching a bolt, light and a corona effect to a projectile. The results are pretty random and unsatisfactory. I think I want to keep the geometry visible, but have it give off an intense glow.

The link seems to be dead, but no doubt you have solved this problem by now.

Thanks for all your help. I have a few more questions:

Is there an entity that can switch actors, or can it only be done by scripting?

Which command actually switches the actors?

Thanks

Thanks for that.

I got the animations to work, except Idle. I'm going to remake the .mots and try again. They show up in Actview, and I know I typed the name right.

Thanks for the help.
I do not have the AttachAccessory.s. Is this in a previous version of RF, or can somebody post this?

Thanks,

That's really helpful!

What's the significance of the semi-colons in front of the animation definitions?

And, do I still need to include these animation names for the first person view if I don't intend to use 1st person with the weapon?
