BF2142 supports "legs" much better, I once saw a vid about a horse. Looked awesome!




BF2142:Warband

But in BF2, it doesn't look good.

This is the most hilarious thing that I've seen in weeks.

Great Camel dude epic skillz.

[SnipeHunt]

Is... is that camel riding a magic carpet?

This is truly beautiful.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

Yes, because the way BF2 vehicles are coded, it's impossible to do the animations of legs moving. Believe me, I spent many months trying to figure out how to manipulate Python to allow me to do this. BF2 can't do animations like this on vehicles, but BF 2142 can (go figure). Sadly, it just really isn't possible. I tried to bone attach the feet to the invisible wheels, but it just didn't look right, as the bone attach isn't a swivel, it's a hard fixture; this made the leg movements look very whack, like, imagine a fanblade.

So I made the camel have invisible wheels, and put him on a magic carpet so it would be mobile. The camel also had the ability to seat a second player facing backwards, and that player could use his weapons. The camel also shat out three mines (instead of flares), so if someone was following you, they'd hit a mine. The "rider" of the camel had the ability to move the head in the direction the driver was facing, so there was a small amount of flexibility in the direction both rider and camel could look.

Also, the spit was extremely low damage; like, 1 point of damage. It was the minimum amount I could code it as, to get your attention if you got hit with it. To put things into perspective, a BF2 vanilla player would have to get hit with about 20 of them from full health to die. Camels spit in real life, so that's why that was added.


But enough about the camel, as I've got bigger fish to fry.

This may be the best thing I've ever read.

Lol is this for real?

[Mikemonster]

OH MY GOD!!! Without the camel v1.0 WILL BE INCOMPLETE! ADD IT!!!

My thoughts exactly!

GET THIS IN PR!

Edit: Iron ridge camel charges ftw.

[{ZW}C-LOKE]

Well, I'll be honest. I'd be a liar if I told you that, while playing insurgency game mode, the thought of a camel-riding jihad sniper or civi riding a camel out to a hilltop with a droppable ammo box hadn't crossed my mind. But in all reality *cough*, the chances of seeing something like this in PR are probably more likely nill than anything. Thanks for the positive feedback folks!

[LongHairedHuman]

Jihad snipers... So much want.

[Jamaican]

Was having a bad day until I read this,

Imagine the WTF look on pr players faces if they saw a herd of jihad camel sniper / mine layers running over the hill towards them. Lol

[ShockUnitBlack]

Would make a cool easter egg.

[AfterDune]

Just like the PR bear that people claim to have seen .

[K4on]

I might have some work for you Loke. A minor, but pretty cool task.

If you are interested, PM me.

[ComradeHX]

I would pay big $$$ for PR to be converted for use with BF2142 just for camel.

[godfather_596]

Could be a bit funny....
