New Alien Tower/s Idea

t_t_sMiLe

<div class="IPBDescription">I have an idea for the alien...</div> I was thinking today when I was a gorge and building, that a really kool idea would be:

- When building/Finished building the towers would start off pretty might with the opacity of about 10% and as the specific tower builds it would slowly fill up and get the opacity of 100%. The filling effect would look alot like the resource bar filling.
- When it is being attacked, it would lose it's filling and slowly lose it's opacity. This was just a idea, maybe it could be acted upon, or maybe it could just be a wacky idea, you choose ;-)

that post should be moved to the ideas forum...because a modeller cant do that....this must be hardcodet into ns

yeah I am a step ahead of you, I just posted it in here, because graphic designers often have a need to be challenged, and like graphic designers modellers are sure to feel the same way. So possible this could be a really good project for one of the top notch modellers out there. Just a suggestion, but hey ya never know right?

and a quick note, if you don't understand what I mean please post your opinion, because if needed I can make a small animated picture to help you out ;-)

i know what you mean..and it cant be done just with a replacement model...

the model cant get feedback from the halflife engine without been hardcodet into ns...

the thing you need requires a status feedback of its energy/resource ..otherwise how should the tower know what happens...

this feedback must be embedet into the animations,or alpha controller, and those are not existant in the present models or engine


edit: lol... nice gif but wasted time <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
