Hi, just wondering if pro can manage some of these effects:

1. 3rd person head/aim control such as that in GTA3 where you can run around in 3rd person yet aim with a mouselook system - if so does it have to be handled with a bone in the model head?

2. Flapping clothes such as long coats and dresses blowing in the wind.

3. Ragdoll physics

4. Is there any way of putting a wall hugging system a la MGS into a 3rd person game using BSP maps?

Thanks in advance.

its all posible. If you have the patience, with DBPro, anything's possible.

#1, you would make the head a separate limb, and just rotate corresponding to the camera angle

#2, you could use a model that has mesh deformation, then you could do that, or you could edit the vertex positions via a memblock

#3 not totally sure what you mean

#4 it would be hard to code it so that just load up a map then you have it, but then again, you could just get the angle of the wall and the angle of the player if there withing about 20 degrees of each other then you could make the player the same angle as the wall

heheh, possible? thats possible; i guess...but i'm not optomistic(good lord...stupid english...SP?). Possible...maybe, worthwhile, almost certainly not You'd be far better off (and get done faster) learning how to code /w C++/DX9a (or at least 8.1) and buildig your own engine from the ground up. I'm sorry, but when you put "Experience with DarkBASICPro" on your resume, there aren't too many companies that would hire you (Keep in mind, I'm not bashing DBP or the DBP team with this post. They did an excellent job for what they were trying to accomplish; a basic command line based language attempting to emulate the functions of a real language...like C++/Java or even 80x86.)
