foffler Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 I was wondering how I would go about creating:A Flashlight that emits light when you turn it on. Any unit could get this from any non-civilian vehicle.A Phone that has options to call the following units: Ambulance, Fire Engine, Police Car, Swat. Any unit could get this from any non-civilian vehicle. It would just be a model held up to the persons ear, then those options would come up.A Rocket Launcher (Is this even possible?) using the in game models that makes a car sized explosion when it hits. It would start fires and be able to hit anything.A Grenade (Again, is this even possible?) using in game models that makes yet again, a car sized explosion.Commandeering. I want my police units to be able to get in to any parked car (or just ones i specify) and be able to take them and drive them. They would just have standard controls.I do hope you can help!Thanks. I am a complete newbie to scripting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unit 42 Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 Are you making a police version of GTA IV?! haha. The grenade is possible I believe but requires scripting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a complete newbie to scripting!Point 1: You can make a new object that will create a headlight type effect for the person when they have it. There are many ways to go about this, they all require scripts though. The easiest way lacks getting to use a get flashlight command, but is just to give the person a floodlight command, and place a special light on him, so when you press the floodlight command it turns on the light. Haven't tested it, but I do believe it would work... At least from memory.Point 2: That's a lot of scripting and modelling, for the extra asethitic appeal, it's not worth it.Point 3: Rocket launchers are possible I think, but to use a regular weapon, it's not worth the damage it'd cause.Point 4: Again, in theory yes, but practically, it's useless.Point 5: That's a lot of scripting to make every unit in the game driveable. Looks to me like you want GTA but sadly for you, this game isn't GTA. Buy GTA, and download an ASI loader, get some mods and play the game, you cannot make this into GTA. For the effort it'd take to do it, there will be another GTA by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyPI Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 lol XD i dont even like gta.He is just being honest with you when it comes to practical application vs. what you wish... GTA is what your demands are more in line with, this game unfortunately the more you want the more you ave to trigger via script...Whether or not a script fires on time or not is totally depending on the computer speed of the end-user computer.... If it's too weak it will not fire every command on-time, if it's too fast it'll breeze by things it should do to trigger an event.... welcome to EM4.. It sucks.

lemon Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 There is too much work to be done, you will need a team of experts in graphic designing, modeling, scripting, etc. It would take months to create this so I'm going to wish you luck and hope that you do succeed in creating your 'Dream' mod ----Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
