Gametype Object Chaining

[Guest]

I'm working on a Snake mini-game and decided to release the object chaining system early because it's so much fun to play with, haha.

Tutorial

Assign the chain_node label to objects you want chained. User data controls the order (0 = root, 1 = second node, 2 = third node, and so on). The Rotation Delay setting affects the curve: higher values allow for sharper curves and Instant produces a straight line.

That's rather neat actually, good job.

 

I may have to start learning a bit about megalo as more and more about it is discovered.

I replied on Youtube, but KSoft doesnt compile Chaining with Parent/Child added, so how can we make it (Parent/Child) be customized with spawn sequence? Or if its easier, make Chaining spawn-sequence-settable.

By the way: yes... Settable

Change the part where it references the User Data to Spawn Sequence.

Though I downloaded it and can't play it until thanksgiving, I can't watch youtube videos or see images from photobucket, what is object chaining neccesarily. I'm kinda curious.

So just to make sure... All I would do is replace all "Userdata" texts with "spawnsequence" text?

Just change userdata to spawnsequence in the object chain trigger(s)

This got (unsurprisingly) pulled from Waypoint. Just passing that info along.

Oh, I see. I know, he could or any of could set-up to have this work for a ball game of sort. I'm certain that is what they will do with it after it seems like they remove certain things and then bring it back as there own. lol.

I'd say in this case the line was crossed from harmless gametype to 'borderline hacking' gametype. Mind you staffers at 343 aren't stupid, they realize it's harmless, but it's more how the population looks at what this is. In 98% of games this would look like some trolling hack.

True, True, I'd completely understand. I'm certain they've ran into game-type mods where the player downloads, strikes to play & upon starts, freezes the game. So I understand this point.

And yet Rocket Race and Rocket Hog Race are still rocking my fileshare, Race was removed just as the other modded gametypes which had too many downloads to keep a blind eye on.

 

And yes I remember Mini Slayer, manipulating player scale is not something the Se7ensins crew invented, it was supported back in Reach and 4.

Well, this really is not Inventing either though if you think about it. All this stuff was there the could have done this before you as well,. Teancum summed it up anyway.
