Is it possible to put an image in a zone with the lvz onbjects that has a energy status and can be destroyed by plaers?

Post subject:
no it isn't possible with a lvz object.

I suggest you use a bot instead with a lvz object on it (must be stationary bot though)

is it possible at all?

Yes, it's possible, but with a bot like MMav said.

Or you could check for weapons that go into that tile so you dont have to have a bot in-ship.... You would need to do the same weapon detecting to make the bot take damage anyways.

Yup Muskrat, however a lvz can't have an energy status

You could have little font lvz to draw the amount of energy left near the wall or whatever.

Bak- wrote an ASSS module that shows the bot's energy going down by its bounty.

Tiles don't have bounty either.

hmm this sounds a little complicated. Is there an available bot with an example of this, or any one willing to make one for me?

They did something similar in MERC Samurai. I believe it checks if a weapon goes within 2 tiles of the door and Dark_Nexus said something about the person having to facing the right direction.



It dosent exactly have an energy status, but depending on your situation this way might be adequate.

I would need there to be an energy status on the bot. I am needing a player to be able to attack multiple stationary "planets" from all sides; as an objective to win the game.

You should go ask for the bots from SSZ Sin City (3D) zone. They had towers with bots inside which you could shoot, destroy and win the objective.

Again, these are bots themselves and not other objects

true, however in Sin City they solved this by putting a lvz picture over the bot. Also having the bot in a tiled box on the map so you were actually shooting the tower. Really cool

Could you provide me with the contact info to the sysops or bot makers of this zone?

50% Packetloss made the bots. It was Wormhole Surfer's zone. The zone sort of slipped into oblivion.
Maverick - Tue May 03, 2005 3:27 pm
Post subject:
the zone is still in a subarena somewhere..
Search the board, someone made a post about it a short while ago.

Yeah, its been in halo except for the bots, I have yet to see them.

It's in ?go brawlers in Halo. No bots as Muskrat said, though.

I see, but I still dont get why they have to be bots for his use. Seems the Samurai way with a little lvz for the energy status would be easier to me.

is there a message that bots can capture, when a bullet hits a wall? i couldn't find anything..
Smong - Fri May 06, 2005 8:29 pm
Post subject:
The server won't send the bot such a message. A bot would have to calculate the bullet's trajectory itself.

I also seen another thing like it in Hal in ?go cr where it uses a bot where you shoot at a tower while a energy bar above it decreases frame by frame as you shoot at it (they where testing when I was looking)

In there the bot detects the bomb, not bullet, of when it hits itself. The bot is under the LVZ, so the player basically has the illussion of hitting the LVZ, but the bot is right under it. SSZ Sin City also had something like this.

Ok.. SO let's say I put a bot under an image. When the bot dies is it possible to have the image removed? How would I have an energy bar shown for the bots health?
Muskrat - Sat May 14, 2005 6:06 pm
Post subject:
Well the hardest part would be getting the bot to die correctly. Changing lvz to show health and stuff is the easy part.

I have a bot that can do this. how would I make the health viewable and the image to dissapear when the bot dies?

If you have the src to this bot, just make it display different lvz for different amounts of energy, and then when it's energy is 0, do some sort of death animation.

I don't know any coding to edit the src files
