<div class="IPBDescription">it's a match made in heaven :P</div> ok, so I got this idea the other day, what if lerks could pick up gorges and carry them around to places they needed to go.
So today I made it happen.
This thing has had it's functionality tested and it works in the way it was designed to. But there are likely to be some aspects of dropping code that are bound to create problems in some areas.
(for example, in the playtesting of this we dropped a gorge while standing on top of the vat of water near fusion reactor in ns_tanith and the gorge popped out under the grate and drowned to death :/)
but for those of you that love new toys whether they work 100% or not, here you go.
the controls are simple:
1. lerk walks up and faces a gorge
2. lerk presses use key
3. lerk flies around somewhere
4. either lerk or gorge press use key
5. gorge gets plopped out in the nearest open space
A big thanks goes out to Hullu for letting me rip out a portion of his Unstuck Pro code to make dropping the gorge work.

Edit: new version attached (31 downloads on the old one..... w00t!)

I laughed for like ten minutes when i saw this. GJ on the plugin though.

yeah, that'll prolly get fixed in the future, but for now it's a feature,
it's caused by uhhhhhhh.... oh, I got it, the gorge has to use all his strength to hold on, yeah, that's the ticket <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

i thought the lerk was holding the gorge? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
now that I've learned a good chunk of metamod it just keeps getting easier.
2 months ago I woulda said to myself "are you freaking kidding me ? That's unpossible!!!" or something like that.
after you get over the initial hump of learning how most things work it just flows and all your time is spent bug fixing
I would like to mention that if anybody truly absolutely likes some of this stuff, then mention it to the higher ups in the mod...
who knows, mebbe one of these days one of these things will get put in the real game.
Could you make it possible for lerks to carry all kinds of objects? So you could kill a hmg carrier then fly off with his gun and drop it in a vent somewhere? <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
Because I'm thinking about how an Onos bombardment would look like in marine base?

That reminds me of playing Tiberian Sun and seeing about 5 of those carriers flying in 5 MMKII's, that's scary.
Great plugin Them!

the lerk will die if an onos will be on him..
this plugin sounds good, but i might not install it since aliens win too much in my server <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Im on my way. I noticed that there was documentation and examples about how to write metamod pluggins, when i downloaded the latest metamod a few days ago.
The only thing I really want to do is write something that (like in Voogrus nsadmin) puts a players names on sprays. Reason being is that there are many children that play on our servers. (kin of clan members) I want to be able to quickly ban porn sprayers. Unless of course someone already has something like this that can give it to me, so I dont have to waste my time. if so I would appreciate it.
I don't see any reason why not. But I'm too lazy to add it right away.
As for onos lifting, I really thought it would be a bad idea to lift anything bigger than a gorge in this since that seemed too unplausable. And didn't bother with skulks in the first version since skulks can usually get to places faster than lerks can.
So far I've only managed to get 1 lerk/gorge combo of guys use this on ns_caged to get between sewer and ventilation really fast before movements were up
And then I havent had time to play all day so I dont know if anyone used it.
I Did take some screens and made a Demo:
<a href='http://gelantious.ath.cx/Lerklifting/' target='_blank'>http://gelantious.ath.cx/Lerklifting/</a>
some bugs..
when lerk dies and spawns i type /unstuck and then i'm with the skulk like he is a lerk and he carry's me..
also when i was lerk, gorge went to rr he was seen as rr(in scoreboard) but he is in the game and he is moving in the game itself..

The pictures are bmps, i gave up on downloading them.
And here's a bugfix release, still the problem with gorges not regaining adrenaline while carried tho. That one is a thinker.

[edit] I just realized how useful this could be on ns_missilecommand! [/edit]
