Wasn't this already asked? And Butters even had a comment?

You really expect us to download a game to see what your talking about?

Well in a few words then- No, it's not possible

you could try just changing the character model for a image on a 2d plane, then set the characters view to 360 so it looks at you, there is a sprite pack one can buy, it has a decal script, in that will be the code that makes it viewable by the player to face them at all times, copy some of that and add it to the characters AI script.

Candle - its that a 2d flat payne image of the monsters, or are they 3d.

actualy you may have troble giving them 360 vision, I tried that with a couple of zombies and it was fine, they will contstantly look at you, but stick like 10 in and loads of them just stand about doing nothing.

Not sure if thats because a lot of monsters are on screen, polygon counts, or the program just doesnt like running loads of AI scripts at once. If its having a load of monsters and it a poly issue you could do lower poly monsters, but perhaps it just doesnt like running all those scripts.

Yeah just make them a decal; it's easily possible to make it walk towards you and deal damage through a script

really why would you want to make a game about hamtaro? there's already about 10 official ones out and they all look rubbish, and shooting him isn't going to help. although this idea could be useful for other things.


@Candles_
do you use APMS? i saw a link to a program on your weblog on the apms forums and was just wondering.

best of the rest!

Ive been looking over this myself.
I think what you would do is make an entity, use a 2d plane with an image on it for the model, then for the animation frames, have the plane show a different image for each frame, perhaps that will do it to make your character.

Using a decal is so much easier than making a plane
plus you can have 16 frames of animation.

This actualy makes me laugh,as it has bein asked before about the same subject with the same character,"Hamtaro".No idea what it is though...

Anyway,It can be done.but not like DOOM handles the flat creatures.It will keep looking at you forever and ever and ever.

Are they not the same thing, isn't a decal just a plane with a texture on it that faces the player all the time due to its script.
Also wouldn't a plane with a texture on it have as many frames of animation because each frame of animation you just change the texture on it, so you could have as many frames as you wanted.

Id still like to know how to do this, I want to make my own fpsc game myself, after I finish the skin pack, it would be nice to know how to do this for when I have it finished the pack and can work on my own projects.
