How Does The Model Rotation Work?

CaLFiN

Does it realise it is near a wall and animate so the feet are on the wall? Or does it just flip over when u are on it?

criticaI

The skulk is always perpendicular to whatever surface he is on. The feet are always on the surface.

XCan

Will your screen turn like it does in AvP?

CaLFiN

That nakes sense if u run up a wall, then ceiling... but what happens if you leap from the floor to the ceiling how does it work?

Ezekiel

the body will orientate itself perpendicular to the surface its on, if its not on a surface i assume it will orientate perpendicular to gravitys action.

It's a video showing the skulk in action.

It doesn't, thank God. I heard a <u>rumour</u> that such a feature is planned for a later release, but according to that rumour it would be optional. Thank GOD.
I wonder though, if I huddle into a corner, will the model orient itself to the wall, floor, or inbetween both (as if it were on a 45° slope)?

CaLFiN

Looks good!

avp maps have a special hull for wallclimb-rotation so that it doesnt go crazy that fast on small objects and pipes.
NS Maps dont have that.
seeing a skulk with rapidly changing orientation is ok but not beeing it.

if youre on the floor, i reckon itll align to the floor, if you edge up onto either of the walls, itll align to that (i think)


and that skulk video is damn sexy.

Young_Trotsky

I'll second that.

Ollj

theres still the problem in vents. im excited.

Ezekiel

with vents i cant see why it wouldnt orient to whichever surface youre crawling along.

imagine being a marine in a vent and seeing skulks run upside down towards you and then leap at you <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->:D:D:D:D:D cant wait

I think it could help Skulks dodge machine gun fire a little. All that extra movement will be a distraction <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

I believe it makes quite a difference. Apparently the Vet's and PT's had some difficulty adjusting. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

Yeah, it's hard to aim while one hand is picking up your jaw from the floor the first time you see a skulk do a barrel roll right into your head.

That is so true.

I gave up on having a jaw a long time ago.

It was too cumbersome

Hmmm

Well I'm principally against mingling in this sort of thing, let's face it, we don't know how it works, we haven't experienced it yet.

But I don't think it will affect incoming fire all too much, afaik the hitboxes are big enough to compensate.
As for the surface "adaption", it'll work out just fine, Flayra and his team will make it work, just have faith, in the end it will be just the way it should be, otherwise he'd have taken it out imo.

Yet again, I know Jack <<<colourfull metafore for doo-doo>>>, haven't experienced it, soooooo let's wait another couple of nights for 2.0 to reveal all of it's mysteries to us <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
